Anibal Sanchez is having a terrible second half of the season. In the opener vs the Rockies, he gave up seven earned runs in just 1.1 innings. The game was decided there even tough our offense try to rally with a good 6th inning. More bad news as Blake Treinen keeps struggling.

A terrible ninth inning cost us the game as we blew a 2 run lead. Zimmerman and Soto went deep and Turner had a good game by going 3 for 5 with 3 doubles. Nevertheless, that was not enough as Scherzer and Magil struggled again and Wil Harris gave up 3 runs on the final inning.

A late-inning rallied helped us clinch the third game of the series. Adam Eaton had a key 2-out bases-clearing double that helped us tie the game. At the top of the ninth Eric Thames went deep and Treinen was able to hold the lead and earn his 14th save of the year.

A poor pitching performance by Joe Ross, who gave up 6 runs in the first inning, helped the Rockies win the final game of the series. We tried a late-inning comeback thanks to a solo shot from Juan Soto in the sixth and a grand slam from Ryan Zimmerman on the eight, but it was not enough.

Roster Moves
Joe Ross and Tony Watson were DFA´d. Wander Suero and Javy Guerra (we have 2 Javy Guerra´s in the active roster) were called up from AAA and AA respectively. We are carrying a 9 man bullpen to a key 3 game series in San Diego

More 9th inning chaos. We were holding a one-run lead and were one strike away from the win when Blake Treinen gave up a 2-run walk-off home run to Tommy Pham. Javy Guerra made his debut in a Nationals uniform against his former team and went 1.1 innings without allowing one hit and no runs.

Another cruel extra-innings defeat. In spite of Anibal Sanchez's bad performance, the offense managed to tie the game by scoring 5 runs in the seventh inning. That was not enough as the Padres bullpen held us down for the next innings and in the bottom of the eleventh Trent Grisham had a walk-off single

W, (4-2) @Petco Park
We took the final game of the week thanks to a good performance by Max Scherzer and Howie Kendrick. Max went 7 innings and allowed just 2 runs. Suero handled the ninth and had his second save of the year. Kendrick had a great game as he went 3 for 4, with 2 doubles and 3 runs batted in.
