Nationals Struggle in Mets' Shutout

0:00On April 29th, the Washington Nationals got shut down hard by the New York meds, dropping an 8-0 loss in the series opener on Tuesday night. It marked just their second shut out this season, with the gnats scraping together only three hits and five base runners total. They barely threatened, stranding just one runner and scoring position all game. Their offense has been ice cold lately, managing only 12 runs over three games against the weak Chicago White Sox before this. Meanwhile, Starter Zach Letell couldn't last long, going 3.2 innings while surrendering four earn runs, including two homers, one right. On the first pitch to Boba Shit, Metspans are fed up, as their team ties the Philadelphia Phillies for the worst record in baseball. They're clamoring for manager Carlos Mendoza's job, especially after getting swept at home by the Colorado Rockies. Similar moves happen recently with the Red Sox firing Alex Cora and the Phillies letting go of Rob Thompson. The gnats face big questions too. Their pitching has been rough all year, and the bats aren't consistent enough to carry them every night.

1:05CJ Abrams has cooled off, though he notched one of those three hits. With two games left in this road series, the gnats need to bounce back strong, tighten up that pitching, and avoid sliding into the basement alongside the Mets.
