Nationals Lose Third Straight, Head to Milwaukee

It's April 9th.

Washington Nationals News Today starts now, AI powered and ready for kickoff.

The Washington Nationals wrapped up their home series against the St. Louis Cardinals with

just one win out of three, dropping the finale six to one.

On Wednesday, and sitting at four wins, and eight losses to start the season.

Early on, the Nats fell behind two runs after two innings, but Jacob Young sparked a rally

in the third with a single, setting up their only score.

In Louis Garcia, Jr. grounded into a fielders choice to bring him home.

After that, though, the offense went quiet, unable to mount any real comeback.

The Cardinals pulled away in the fifth on Jordan Walker's 405-foot homer, making it three

to one, then tacked on more runs in the Marty.

Seventh and ninth helped by Nationals' pitchers, issuing seven walks total, which bloated

the pitch counts.

Manager Blake Boutera called out those free passes and high-pitched totals, post-game,

saying they got a dialed back moving forward to stay competitive.

Now with an off-day Thursday, the Nats hit the road Friday at 7.40pm, for three games

set against the Milwaukee Brewers, who started hot at eight and two, but just lost two straight

to Boston.

They're hungry for that first away win this month to turn things around.
