Well, that wasn’t how the Washington Nationals were hoping to end their trip to the West Coast. On Sunday, Anthony Rendon’s walk-off single capped a dramatic comeback for the Los Angeles Angels to steal the series win in the three-game set.
If you’re looking for good news though, then the offensive production lately will provide that.
During the course of the Nats’ nine-game road trip, as a team, they slashed a productive .328/.381/.477 with a 147 wRC+, the second-best figure in the majors over that span.
Obviously, take into account Coors in the slash line — wRC+ already accounts for Park Factor — but if they can at least keep some of that production ticking over into this next homestand, it will be a huge boost to a lineup that had been meager until that point.
