The Washington Nationals have demonstrated remarkable performance since May 14, achieving an 11-4 record, the highest winning percentage in MLB during this period. They also set a record by scoring at least 9 runs in four consecutive games. However, questions linger about the consistency of their pitcher Mitchell Parker, whose ERA has surged since an impressive outing earlier in the season. Additionally, defensive issues, highlighted by poor individual performances, continue to impact the team's overall effectiveness on the field. Manager Dave Martinez expresses satisfaction with the team's offensive approach last night, emphasizing good at-bats and scoring needed runs.
"We put together some good at-bats, everybody did, We spread the ball around the field. Everybody is working good at-bats, and we ended up scoring a bunch of runs, which we definitely needed tonight." - manager Dave Martinez said about last night's game
The Nats set a scoring record with four consecutive games with at least 9-runs each. Can they do it again against Corbin Burnes for the sweep?
Mitchell Parker turned in an 8.0 inning gem on April 22, but since then has struggled with an ERA of 8.46 which is unsustainable.
Defensively, the Nationals have struggled, particularly with players like Luis Garcia Jr. and Amed Rosario costing runs, leading to an OAA deficit.
