It didn’t take the Nationals very long, but they lost their tenth game last night. Jerome Williams was hit hard and he dropped to 0-3 on the season. He gave up four runs on seven hits and two walks with four strikeouts in five innings of work. Felipe Lopez had two hits and an RBI and he continues to hit the ball well and Chris Snelling went two for three with an RBI and two runs in the 6-4 loss.
There was a win in this series though as Matt Chico finally put together a solid start. He gave up just one run on four hits and five walks in five innings of work and it’s his first major league win. Dmitri Young had a nice game with the stick n the 5-1 win. He went three for four with two RBIs and a run. Felipe Lopez finished with three hits in that gave and he had five total in the two game seires.
Next up is two agaist the Phillies in a surprising battle of the bottom feeders. Yeah, I know it’s not too surprising that the Nats are near the bottom of the standings but the Phillies were supposed to contend for a division title.
