Washington Nationals Series Preview: Nine-game road trip begins against New York Mets

The Washington Nationals finally won a series again! The Colorado Rockies now account for 22% of the wins the Nationals have had this season, read into that however you wish.

It was the first time the Nats had managed to win a series since they took two of three from the San Francisco Giants in a set that straddled April and May, so will be the only series they win in May that was entirely this month. Sub-optimal.

Anyway, for the Nationals the key to the series victory was scoring 28 runs on 40 hits across the four games, finally managing to give their inconsistent rotation some run support, especially Patrick Corbin who finally recorded his first win of the season on the mound.
