Were the Washington Nationals lucky to get out of a three-game series with the Miami Marlins with just a series loss? Quite possibly.
For the first two games of the series, it felt like only one team was truly in the series, with the Marlins taking them fairly convincingly.
While the Nats responded with a win in the finale, they tried their best to blow it in the ninth inning before scraping through in extra innings.
All the while, the Cincinnati Reds are gaining on them and are just a game behind for the worst record in the majors.
