It’s been a week of history for the Washington Nationals franchise. On Sunday, they watched Max Scherzer nearly throw a perfect game, but still struck out a club record 16 batters in his complete game win over the Brewers. Two days later, the Nats offense decided to join in and set history.
Last night, the team had 23 hits, which is the most in a single game in Nationals history. All nine players that were in the starting lineup had at least one hit in this one. With the offense struggling as much as it has this month, could this be the game that sparks another hot streak?
