With a relatively successful homestand in the books, the Washington Nationals head back on the road for five games, starting off with a trip to Citi Field to take on the New York Mets.
Along with the Nationals, the Mets have also been struggling on offense so far this season.
Entering Friday’s slate of games, the Nationals and Mets had scored the fewest runs in the major leagues, with 55 and 44 runs respectively, and are also two of the bottom three in runs per game with the Nats at 3.44 runs per game and the Mets at 3.
