Mitchell Parker kept things rolling for the Nationals’ rotation with six strong innings of work on Sunday afternoon, over which he gave up just one earned run.
Washington’s starters, the club’s PR folks highlighted in the post game notes after the win, “… have pitched to a 1.03 ERA (4 ER/35.0 IP) with a .198 opponents’ average, 37 strikeouts, and seven walks,” over the last six games, with the Nationals 5-1 in those games.
The win in the series finale with Miami gave the Nats a three-game sweep of their NL East rivals, against whom they are now 7-0 this season, after going 2-11 against the Fish in 2023.
