The Washington Nationals have come crashing back down to earth as of recent. The Nationals sit at just 62 wins with 9 games to play, so they literally would have to win out in order to even match their previous totals. James Wood, Dylan Crews, and Luis Garcia Jr. all notched 2 hits apiece, but the lineup failed to draw a single walk in the game. One other noteworthy piece from this game is that newly acquired reliever Sauryn Lao, who was claimed off waivers from the Seattle Mariners recently, made his debut for the Nationals, although it was uninspiring in the end. Lao pitched 2.0 innings, and allowed 2 earned runs on 3 hits while striking out a pair of batters.
