After taking 2 of 3 from Atlanta in their first series of 2022, Washington’s Nationals have now dropped seven straight to the Braves, with last night’s 5-4 loss in Nationals Park. They’re 2-8 against their NL East rivals this season. They’ve also lost seven in a row overall now.
Going into last night, manager Davey Martinez said he and his club knew how good the defending World Series champions were, but his team, if they play the right way, could defeat anyone on any given night.
“I mean, you know, they’re good, we got to make our pitches, we got to play good defense, we got to do all the little things,” Martinez explained.
