In what is becoming a worrying trend for the Washington Nationals, they were shutout on a depressing Wednesday night. The Baltimore Orioles managed to get just enough run support to squeeze out a 3-0 win.
It’s the fourth time they’ve been shutout in the past nine games, something that only happened seven times in 2017. With multiple players slumping and shaking off the rust, it’s a rough period for the Nats.
The only player who could muster more than the one hit on the night was Anthony Rendon. He went 2 for 3 but Bryce Harper and Daniel Murphy behind him went a combined 0 for 7.
