Different city, different day, same old Washington Nationals.
The Nats’ 7-3 loss to the Chicago Cubs last night at Wrigley Field represented the tenth time this month they’ve scored three or fewer runs. They’ve lost nine of those games.
Again, the Nationals’ offense stranded five runners on base and were collectively 0-for-2 with runners in scoring position.
“We’re hitting the ball hard,“ said manager Davey Martinez after the game. “I think it’s just a matter of, one, not trying to do too much. Just go up there and just see the ball and hit it.
