After struggling some through the early stages of the 2019 season, the NLCS version of the Washington Nationals pitching staff was brilliant.
In the current NLCS the Atlanta Braves gave up 15 runs in Game 3, with 11 coming in the first inning. Los Angeles Dodgers pitchers gave up ten runs in Game 4 and eight in Game 2. Last year, the Washington Nationals pitching staff gave up six runs total.
