Washington Nationals Rapid Reaction: Nats Unable To Dig Out Of Early Hole Vs. Padres

After winning three straight games, the Washington Nationals lost a tough one last night to the San Diego Padres by a final score of 6-5. Trailing 6-2 in the seventh inning, the Nats did put three runs on the board to cut the San Diego lead to one, but Yunel Escobar swung at a 3-0 pitch and grounded into an inning ending double play.

Gio Gonzalez took the ball last night for Wasington and he continued his downward spiral by giving up five runs (four earned runs) and he wasn’t able to finish the fifth inning.
