With three straight wins in Arizona, the Washington Nationals have won eight of their last ten, and twelve of their last fourteen, pulling within 1.5 games of first place after starting this latest stretch 6.0 games out in the NL East.
Four of five wins in one-run games on the season have come over this stretch, though the Nats are still just 5-9 in those tight matchups.
Davey Martinez told reporters after Saturday’s win over the Diamondbacks that he likes the way the Nats’ lineup has been going after he moved Trea Turner back to the leadoff spot in front of Bryce Harper, Anthony Rendon, and Matt Adams.
