Same, Juan. Same. The Washington Nationals had a promising start to their series with the Arizona Diamondbacks this week, taking a doubleheader sweep to go 2-0 up in the four-game set.
The pitching was particularly impressive in those two games with Joan Adon and Josiah Gray stepping up and giving their team enough on the mound to secure their two wins.
Then, well, the D-backs knocked Erick Fedde around, teeing off on him regularly, and then the Nationals just couldn’t get the big hit in the series finale on Thursday, stranding the bases loaded in the eighth and ninth innings when they had a chance to get a series win.
