“Remember, this is a good team. You guys stay with us now, alright, stay with us,” Nationals’ left fielder Kyle Schwarber implored fans when he spoke to reporters on a Zoom call after a two-home run game in Washington’s 5-0 win over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday.
Those home runs were Schwarber’s second and third of the four-game series with the NL West’s first-place club and his 11th and 12th of the season, and he made it four in the last four games overall with a solo shot to right in the seventh inning on Monday night in the nation’s capital, hitting a hanging curve over the out-of-town scoreboard to put the Nats ahead, 3-2, in what ended up a one-run win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
