After disappointing series losses against the Miami Marlins and the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Washington Nationals took care of business on the road against the Colorado Rockies, taking two of a three-game series. After a ten-game road trip, Washington currently sits in fourth place in National League East.
The Baltimore Orioles are coming off one of the worst losses of the season, losing 24-2 and dropping the series to the Cincinnati Reds. Starting the season 9-12 after back-to-back 90-plus win seasons is not ideal, and the root of this slow start could be attributed to the lack of a consistent starting rotation.
