Washington Nationals Series Preview: Worst in the AL, Oakland Athletics, come to the nation’s capital

Huzzah! The Washington Nationals finally got a win from a starting pitcher to snap their 43-game streak without one, a streak that goes down in the record books as the longest in modern Major League Baseball history.

Of course, it was Patrick Corbin who broke the streak. The pitcher who leads the majors in losses, and has by far and away the highest ERA among qualifiers. Because, baseball.

Aside from that bright spot, the Nationals ended up losing the series, despite a debut from Cade Cavalli coming in the series opener. TJ Friedl may have to enter the Nationals killer bracket if he keeps up the type of performance against the Nats that he had in this series.
