Seven games into a ten-game road trip, things have not gone well for the Washington Nationals. A 1-6 record; six straight losses; one game under .500; and outscored by a combined score of 39-20. This road trip was supposed to make or break the Nationals season, and at this point, the team looks broken.
For the better part of the season, the Nationals just haven’t been able to get all aspects of their game in sync. When the starting pitching was good, the bullpen could not hold a lead. Once the bullpen got its act together, the offense went on hiatus.
