Washington Nationals Series Preview: The battle for last place in the NL with the Cincinnati Reds

Remember the last series that the Washington Nationals played against the New York Mets?

We included an image to try and sum up the season so far with Juan Soto and Josh Bell both thrown out at third and a gaggle of players surrounding third base.

Well, a new contender has entered the ring from this week’s series against the Mets.

Poor Yadiel Hernández dived well short of a line drive and face-planted into the outfield grass at Citi Field as the Mets extended their lead to 5-0 on their way to a series sweep.
