The Washington Nationals offense got shutout for a third straight game on Saturday. It was the first time the team had managed to do so since the move to the nation’s capital.
It’s even more baffling considering it never happened in the back-to-back 100+ loss teams, but it would happen to this team that is so talented.
This time, it was Zack Wheeler, Daniel Zamora, Drew Smith and Jerry Belvins who combined for the shutout. With the greatest of respect to those pitchers, they’re a far cry from Aaron Nola and Pat Neshek who shut them out the first time.
