Nationals' Pitching Woes Continue in Loss to Braves

It's April 24th, Washington Nationals News today starts now, AI powered and ready for kickoff.

The Washington Nationals just dropped three out of four games to the Atlanta Braves at home,

leaving them at 11 wins and 15 losses.

Seven, games back in the National League East.

Pitching Wows dominated the series, with the staff giving up more than seven runs in each loss,

turning potential close games into blowouts.

They grabbed one win on Tuesday, exploding for 11 runs behind home runs from James Wood and Curtis Mead,

plus a four for five night from Luis.

With the other three games saw the bullpen implode after decent starts, like Monday's five runs sixth,

and Thursday's rough outing from Zach Letell, who surrendered eight earned runs including four homers.

Fans are buzzing about the bright spots amid the frustration.

James Woods on fire with three homers in the series, and a 1.116 OPS this.

April, while Daelin Lowell smacked two bombs, and boosted his average to 295.

Still, the home struggles sting, especially after losing to weaker teams like the Giants lately.

Digging deeper, the rotations inconsistent starters like Jake Irvin and Kate Cavali aren't going deep,

and guys like Letell leave the league in.

Homers allowed. The bullpen's no better, blowing leads with big innings from relievers like Sino Perez and PJ Polin,

pushing the team's ERA to second worst end, baseball.

Now they head to Chicago to face the White Sox, starting Friday, April 24th at 7.40pm,

with a real shot to snap this two-series skid, and get back on track before the pitching problems sink the whole season.
