Did the Washington Nationals drop the first two games of a three-game series and then win the series finale to prevent a sweep again? Yes, they did!
For the third series in succession, the Nationals were playing salvage-ball trying not to get swept, and thanks to a gem from Erick Fedde and the bullpen, they shut out the Los Angeles Dodgers for a 1-0 win, even if they can thank the dead ball for the final out of the game.
To start the series, however, it was a familiar tale of starting pitching getting rocked for too many runs for the inconsistent offense to keep up with, which left them in that 2-0 hole in the three-game set.
