Washington Nationals Baseball

It's been a long time, but opening day is finally back for the Washington Nationals.
The Nat's opening day series is in Chicago, against the Cubs. Washington was hot and won the opening game10-4. Off day today, then Saturday and Sunday
with the Cubs.

The Nationals came away from the 3 game series in Chicago with a win 6-3 over the Cubs.
That made for 2 wins out of 3 games. Jake Irwin was the winning pitcher and Joey Weimer is on a hitting streak to start the year. Weimer has 6 hits and 2 walks to start the season. We now have a 3 game series in Philadelphia starting tonight.

That hurt. We split the first 2 games with the Phillies before todays game. The Nationals were up 5-3 on the strength of CJ Abrams 3 run home run. In 9th the Phillies tied the game and then got the winning run in the 10th to win 6-5. Off tomorrow, then home for a series with the LA Dodgers.

too bad they are not visiting the san diego padres too . they'd likely come out ahead in that series

Much better, in fact wonderful. The Nationals just finished three games with the hot
Milwaukee Brewers. The Nats won the first game 7-3 with an explosive finish. Then won the second game with a pitchers duel 3-1. The third game, Washington was up 6-3 lale, got tied up by the Brewers with a three run homer, 6-6. The Nats got 2 runs in the eighth to go up 8-6
and held that lead to win a three game sweep of a very good Brewers team. Now on to Pittsburgh
for 4 four games at Three Rivers stadium.
