Washington Nationals news & notes: Closing in on 100 losses; Josiah Gray plan; Instructs crew in Miami...

It’s coming one of these days. Following Saturday’s loss in Miami, Washington’s Nationals were 52-99 overall, one loss away from the organization’s first 100-loss season since their bad days in 2008 (103) and 2009 (102), though those hundred loss years gave them their No. 1 overall picks which they used on Stephen Strasburg and Bryce Harper. But it’s going to happen for Davey Martinez and Co., though they avoided it with a salvage job Sunday.

“For me it’s been tough,” Martinez said of all the losing this season before the series finale in Miami.
