Dave Martinez's comments can't shake the Nationals out of their funk
Briefly

In a disappointing series against the Miami Marlins, the Washington Nationals faced their eighth consecutive loss, despite a solid performance from pitcher MacKenzie Gore. Gore managed to strike out five and allowed two runs over six innings, but the Nationals couldn’t capitalize, finishing the game 0 for 9 with runners in scoring position. Manager Dave Martinez emphasized the unity of the team, acknowledging they had been through tough times before and needed to stay together to overcome this challenging stretch.
On Sunday afternoon of an emotional weekend, the Washington Nationals needed a stopper - a pitcher who can get his team back on track with a dominant outing. As it turned out, ace MacKenzie Gore was lined up to do just that.
Wagaman added a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning against newly acquired reliever Ryan Loutos. The Nationals have scored three runs or fewer in 11 of their 13 games in June.
