To no one’s surprise, August hasn’t been kind to the Nationals, with the team going 4-12 to start the month, thanks to five and seven-game losing streaks. Recently, the Nationals were able to shock a surging Blue Jays team by sweeping a two-game series and now head to Milwaukee for a three-game series against the NL Central leader.
