This weekend was one of the most embarrassing in recent Nationals history, as they were swept by the last-place Miami Marlins at home to bring their losing streak to 8 games, all while the manager, Davey Martinez pinned the blame on the players and not him and his staff. The offense came alive in game one of the series while the pitching faltered, and then the pitching came through in the next 2 games the offense reverted back to type. They now lead the Marlins by 1 in the NL East standings and are tied with them in the loss column.
