A sweep! An actual sweep for the Washington Nationals! Fine, it was only a two-game series sweep, but it’s their first since a two-game sweep over the Tampa Bay Rays back in June, and this one also came against another good team in the Toronto Blue Jays.
For once, it was the other team’s bullpen that probably ended up being the deciding factor as Blue Jays’ relievers combined to give up 10 runs in 8.0 innings of work. They let a one-run game get away from them on Tuesday and blew a one-run lead on Wednesday.
