We opened the series hosting the Nationals with Steve Paustian (3-5, 5.60 ERA, 1.52 WHIP) taking on Hunter Wood, who's making his first start of the year. It was a close one, but we edged them 4-3 to open this crucial matchup.

We opened the four game set with Devon Peterson (5-2, 4.22 ERA, 1.33 WHIP) taking on Zach Attianese (1-6, 7.18 ERA, 1.62 WHIP), who's only win came against us. We got three quick runs in the first, and curised to an 8-2 win.
Peterson didn't have the best outing, 4.2 innings with 6 hits, 2 runs, 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts. Ben Popkin finished the 5th with a strikeout to get the win.
