Since May 24th, when they were swept in four-straight by the New York Mets as part of a five-game losing streak which left them 12 games under .500 and 10.0 out of first in the National League East, the Washington Nationals have put up the best record in baseball.
With a 28-11 mark in the last 39, the Nationals are 6.0 games out in the division and atop the Wild Card race at the All-Star Break.
Davey Martinez’s squad finished the so-called “first half” of the 2019 campaign strong, with wins in 10 of 12 and 12 of 15, with their 47-42 record overall now the third-best record in the National League.
