Washington Nationals: Nats’ Glaring Problems Can’t Be Swept Away
Sweeping the Atlanta Braves on the road was a positive step, but the Washington Nationals haven’t turned the 2019 season around just yet.
Nobody, including yours truly, thought the Washington Nationals would sweep a two-game series against the Braves this week in Cobb County, Georgia.
The Nationals deserve credit for going into a hostile environment and silencing the annoying tomahawk chop and Atlanta’s arrogant sports media. The Nats pulled it off thanks to phenomenal starting pitching by Stephen Strasburg and former Braves starter Anibal Sanchez, along with an offense that’s finally showing signs of life.
