The Nats returned to Nationals Park yesterday for their annual exhibition game, and they actually won. For context, the last seven years of exhibition games at Nationals Park:
2012: Loss to Red Sox, 8-7
2013: Loss to Yankees, 4-2
2014: Tigers — Rained out
2015: Loss to Yankees, 4-3
2016: Beat Twins, 4-3, Tie with Twins, 8-8
2017: Tied Red Sox in Annapolis, 4-4
In other words, a win happens twice every eight seasons. A sweep of exhibition games in the competitive era of Nationals baseball never occurred until yesterday.
