On the start of their nine game road trip, the Washington Nationals (59-42) picked up a split against the Cleveland Indians. Stephen Strasburg threw seven shutout innings while Trea Turner went 3-for-4 with three RBI’s in yesterday’s win. The Nats could’ve won both games if not for a bullpen meltdown, mainly by Jonathan Papelbon, in Tuesday night’s 7-6 loss.
Tonight, the Washington Nationals continue their road trip when they begin a four game series against a team that they will see seven times in the next ten games and what could be a playoff preview in October.
