With a third straight win last night, the Washington Nationals have finally found their footing again. With their disastrous June and the team being rocked by the firing of Davey Martinez in early July, the Nationals had been playing bad baseball for a long time. Now, it looks like that might be changing. A new and improved bullpen is a big reason for this.
To varying degrees, the Nationals bullpen has been a problem all year. At points it has been manageable. There was a run where guys like Cole Henry, Brad Lord and Kyle Finnegan helped stabilize the back end of the bullpen.
