Washington Nationals Series Preview: First half finishes against San Francisco Giants

Well, that was a gut-punch for the Washington Nationals.

In the middle of the fourth inning in the series finale against the San Diego Padres, it looked like the Nationals were about to get a much-needed series win against one of the better teams in the major leagues.

Then, it all unraveled in one of the most bizarre innings of Max Scherzer’s career as he allowed seven earned runs, including a grand slam to reliever Daniel Camarena, and the Nationals would go on to lose on a walk-off single by Trent Grisham.

It’s still mind-boggling that it could happen and to a pitcher of Scherzer’s ilk too.
