It certainly didn’t come easy, but the Nationals finally ended their consecutive series losses streak of 7 with a 7-4 victory in Anaheim on Sunday. It looked like their bleak streak was going to continue into the month of July, as they trailed 4-3 entering the 9th, but hope was renewed after Daylen Lile doubled and was brought in to tie the game on a Jacob Young single. The bats then came alive in the 11th, with a Drew Millas double and a CJ Abrams triple giving the Nats a 3-run lead that they wouldn’t relinquish.
Drew Millas showed out in his first start of the year for the big league club, going 1-3 with the go-ahead double, a walk, a game-saving block on an errant pitch, and catching a runner stealing in the 9th.
