The Washington Nationals got a day-off yesterday, and are the field practicing in heat of over 100 degrees. Yes, it is one of those scorching hot July summer days in Washington, D.C., but normally it is 89 degrees on this day with the record set of 101 degrees back in 1966.

The Washington Nationals need an ace start from Cade Cavalli — and they got even more than that in a 7.0 inning, 1 hit, 0 earned run gem en route to an 8-1 win. The series is tied and the Nats have a series to win today to return to Washington, D.C. tonight on a happy flight.

The Washington Nationals got a dud from Miles Mikolas last night, and it certainly felt like Groundhog Day. Your starter can’t give up six runs and expect to win. Tonight, the Nats will pin their hopes on starter Cade Cavalli to deliver a gem and even this series in Boston.

The Washington Nationals are once again back in the Wild Card discussion at 1-game above .500. The team has another series against an AL opponent and this time it is the Boston Red Sox. Both President of Baseball Operations, Paul Toboni, and manager Blake Butera have ties to Boston. Butera attended Boston College and starred on their baseball team, and Toboni was a VP in the Red Sox front office for several years until the Nats hired him away.

How data and instinct combine in modern baseball strategy

The manager walks to the mound in the seventh inning. The pitcher has performed well, showing solid numbers through six innings, but something feels off in his mechanics. His release point has dropped slightly, and his fastball velocity is dipping.

The Washington Nationals are back to .500 and after that 4-game losing streak — .500 feels like an accomplishment. A win by the Nats today would win the series and get Washington back over .500.

The Washington Nationals are mired in a 4-game losing streak. It’s unfortunate. Of course, last night the bullpen pitched great with Brad Lord and Zak Kent — and it was the offense that didn’t do their job as they scored just 1-run en route to a 4-1 loss.

The Washington Nationals were one pitch from taking the first three games in the series then a 2-out home run with two strikes turned into another gut-punch Nats loss. This was like a replay of Tuesday. Baseball can be cruel. Even President of Baseball Operations, Paul Toboni, publicly said that he was “freaking pissed off” after Tuesday’s loss. Wonder how he felt after last night?
