Perfectly average, for better or worse. A 4-3 run over 7 games keeps things pointed up. But averaging only 3.7 runs a game. The offense is the weak link.

Nationals News

The Washington Nationals dropped another one to the Milwaukee Brewers yesterday, falling 4-1 despite hanging around for most of the game. A first-inning fielding error by Brady House set the tone, allowing three unearned runs that the Nats couldn't overcome. It stings to see the offense struggle, especially when they've shown flashes of potential earlier in the season, boasting a respectable 15-19 record overall. As they sit third in the division, the recent 4-3 stretch gives some hope, with CJ Abrams hitting .289 and James Wood find his footing at .238. In a bid to bolster their roster, Washington recently signed right-hander Shawn Dubin and claimed Zak Kent off waivers,moves that could pay dividends as the team looks to turn the tide against the Brewers in the coming games.
