Washington Nationals: Pitching must carry the load while offense scuffles

Despite winning the first four games of the year, the Washington Nationals now sit at 6-8. They have dropped eight of their last 10 games and look like a team searching for a spark.

Pitching has always been the backbone of the team, which is the case once again this year. Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez, and Tanner Roark have combined for a 2.17 ERA in 12 total starts.

Although the bullpen got off to a rocky start, they have begun to settle in as well.
