Last night’s loss could be season-altering. Washington needs to find a way to not allow history to repeat itself.
Trea Turner had just finished rounding the bases after hitting his second homer of the night and the home crowd at Petco Park was silent. Turner had just put the Nats up 8-0 in the top of the fourth inning. With the Padres ace, Yu Darvish on the mound, many were expecting a low-scoring affair.
