It’s time for a new series, and the Washington Nationals are in town to visit the San Francisco Giants. The good news is that the Nationals should be very, very bad. The bad news is that they’ve been a remarkably pesky team so far this year.
Getting the first crack at them is right-handed pitcher Anthony DeSclafani, who has been sensational a year after missing most of the season with an injury. In six starts, DeSclafani is 3-1 with a 2.13 ERA, a 3.38 FIP, and 30 strikeouts to three walks in 38 innings.
