Washington’s Nationals haven’t won a series since they took 2 of 3 from San Francisco in the three-game set with the Giants on April 16-18. They have a chance to earn a win (or if they lose, settle for a split) in the four-game set with the Los Angeles Dodgers in Chavez Ravine this afternoon, and they have Stephen Strasburg on the mound in the finale.
Davey Martinez’s squad also has a bit of momentum on their side for a change, after they put up five runs in the eighth inning last night to rally from a 2-0 deficit in what ended up being a 5-2 win.
