It sure wasn’t a good night to be in a Washington Nationals uniform on Tuesday night. The Nationals were clobbered by the Minnesota Twins by the score of 11-2. Now the Nationals will be trying to avoid the three game sweep by the Twins on Thursday in what I call a must win for the team.
Jason Bergmann took the loss for the Nationals after giving up five hits and three runs in six innings of action. Bergmann only gave up three runs so that means that the Nationals bullpen once again threw the ball terribly. Saul Rivera gave up two runs, Jesus Colome gave up five runs, and Brian Sanches gave up one run. Just a bad bad game for the Nationals pitching staff.
The first for the Nationals came off the bat off Felipe Lopez that hit a solo home run in the fifth inning. In the ninth inning Cristian Guzman scored on an error by Brendan Harris. Bad game at the plate for the Nationals as well.
All around it sucked if you were a Nationals player, coach, or fan. Hell even the Nationals Bloggers are upset with how the team played Wednesday night.
