While Adam Eaton and Daniel Murphy were injured, the Washington Nationals offense struggled to consistently score runs. They’ve been back for a few weeks now, but they’ve still been trying to find their form at the plate.
Before this series, Murphy was hitting just .194 and Eaton was hitting a respectable .292 but had been struggling as of late. Like the Nationals, neither player was able to feel comfortable at the plate on a regular basis.
That has changed in a big way during this series, and even more so on Tuesday.
