Washington Nationals fans who thought things couldn't get any worse following a walk-off grand slam by Chicago Cubs rookie David Bote in Sunday's contest were wrong.
Washington lost in heartbreaking style again Monday, this time via a walk-off long ball from St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong. The Nationals appeared to be well on their way to victory with a 4-2 lead entering the eighth, but they allowed five runs in the final two innings to lose 7-6 even though they scored two themselves in the top of the ninth.
"I don't know what else to do," manager Dave Martinez said in a head-turning quote after the loss, per Barry Svrluga of the Washington Post.
