Even with the current state of the Washington Nationals, wins on getaway day are still fun, especially those of the walk-off variety courtesy of a Carter Kieboom RBI-single on Monday.
Yes, they lost what was a rare five-game series against the New York Mets. But even to the untrained eye, it was clear that the team just wouldn’t die quietly, tying the game in the final inning in each of their three losses in the series.
With a couple of different bounces here and there, the Nationals weren’t far away from a potential five-game sweep, but as we all know, that’s not how baseball works, so it’s still a series loss.
