The less said about the Washington Nationals’ awful display at the plate against the Milwaukee Brewers over the weekend, the better.
It was yet another lackluster effort from a lineup that had struggled to consistently produce runs.
For most of the season, the problem has been capitalizing when they get runners in scoring position. They couldn’t even get that far during this series though, going 3-for-38 with runners on base, giving them a pitiful slash line of just .079/.167/.105 in the three games.
Now the Nationals have seven divisional games, which could be decisive if they want to try and climb back into the National League East, starting with four against the Atlanta Braves.
