The Washington Nationals had a pretty frustrating series in the Bronx over the weekend.
Despite an offensive outburst on Friday, Washington dropped the next two games on Saturday and Sunday with a combination of a lack of offense and poor fundamental baseball.
Having lost five of their last six games, the Nationals now get to greet the Philadelphia Phillies for the first time this season for a three-game series to start the week.
The Phillies are in decent form lately, having won five of their last seven games, but they continue to just kind of plod along rather than doing anything to really separate themselves from the pack in the bunched-up National League East.
