The Nationals offense showed just how bipolar they can be these last two games. In the last game of the Padres series, they could get nothing going. It was painful to watch Nats hitters try to do something against Nick Pivetta. However, they showed what they can do last night.
With Jose Soriano on the mound, Nationals hitters had a field day. After a quiet first inning, the Nats struck first in the second inning. After the slow footed Nathaniel Lowe legged out an infield single, Josh Bell hit an opposite field home run to make it 2-0 early.
