After dropping two of three to the Yankees to begin the season, then splitting four games with the Blue Jays, the Washington Nationals’ season went silent for a few days. While play wasn’t halted for Washington in the same way it has been for teams like the St. Louis Cardinals, who haven’t played since July 29, the Nationals have struggled to build any momentum in this rocky season.
Post COVID break, the Nats split two games with the Mets before dropping two to the Baltimore Orioles and they were well on their way to being the victims of a sweep before the game was suspended, set to resume Friday in Baltimore.
