The Washington Nationals played a game on Saturday night which demonstrated what this team can produce when all aspects of their game are working. This performance is what Nationals fans expected to see most of the time from their team. All aspects of the game were working–starting pitching, hitting and bullpen and the result was a 6-1 win over the Milwaukee Brewers.
Joe Ross made the start for the Nationals. He was magnificent. He pitched seven innings, giving up one run, no walks and only threw 82 pitches. Clearly he could have gone deeper into the game, but he is on an innings limit as a rookie.
