With the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves rained out in Georgia, the Nats did not lose any ground in the standings. As Washington travels north to San Francisco, they must forget about the losses this weekend and focus on the Giants.
The Nats made a rare unforced error in the front office by not placing Anthony Rendon on the disabled list earlier. Instead of doing it right away, they waited until Sunday and lose him until next Sunday at the earliest.
As strong as Wilmer Difo has played at third, Rendon’s bat and glove are missed.
