MacKenzie Gore completed one of the best starts of his young career, and one of the best starts by a National this season. Unfortunately for Gore, the Nationals could not hold his lead and get him the win as they were walked off by the Royals in the 9th.
If the Nats first game in Miami this season was any indication of the games to come between the two teams, they are in for a dog fight. After the Nats scored 3 in the 8th to take the lead, the Marlins scored 3 of their own in the 9th to walk off the Nats.
The Nats fell short in their pursuit to win three games in a row as well as secure a winning road trip as they dropped the second game to the Giants by a score of 4 to 1. The Nats managed to collect 10 hits, but frequently struggled with RISP, going 1-12.
The Nats relied on their traditional strength on Monday: Starting Pitching. Jake Irvin was nothing short of dominant against the Giants, throwing 6.1 innings of shutout baseball with only 4 hits and 3 walks allowed to 5 strikeouts in a 5 to 1 victory.
The Nationals had arguably their most odd game of the season on Thursday. A prime Patrick Corbin performance capped off by an Alex Call walk-off homerun gave the Nationals their third win a row as they took the 4 game set from the Cubs.
