Washington Nationals

The Nationals fell to 12-21 at home with their 10-2 loss.

Bryce Eldridge’s slam lifts the Giants to an 11-10 win after they trailed 9-1.

Washington improved to 23-13 on the road and clinched its second series win of their West Coast road trip.

Monday’s 4-3 win was a thrilling way for the Nationals to begin their three-game set against the Giants.

Sunday’s start was an unusual one for Cade Cavalli. He allowed four runs on seven hits with one walk. Cavalli’s two strikeouts — both on his sweeper — were tied for his fewest this season.

García hit two of the Nationals’ five homers. They had 16 hits as they sucked the life out of Chase Field.

The Nationals and Marlins were both throwing no-hitters entering the fifth inning. Washington exited it trailing 4-0.

“Patience and trust has been the biggest thing,” manager Blake Butera said recently. “He does a really good job of walking and getting on base, and he just keeps getting better and better [in] understanding how he’s getting attacked.”

Here are 10 stats that explain how the team got to this point.

When Butera is home, wife Caroline Margolis said, he is on top of their daughter’s schedule, finding ways to help where needed.

“I know where we stand as baseball players, and I know where the owners stand,” Orioles pitcher Zach Eflin said. “It’s going to be a long conversation, long negotiation process, for both sides to get closer to what they want.”

The Padres entered last in batting average (.218) and OBP (.291) and second-to-last in slugging percentage (.361). They also entered with the fifth-fewest runs in the majors. But they found the perfect remedy against the Nationals.

James O’Keefe of the Citizen Journalism Foundation released an edited video of Hudson’s comments. The footage was secretly recorded.

It’s getting harder to ignore the Nationals’ quality play of late, which has included beating some impressive teams.

Over six innings Cavalli allowed one run on five hits with seven strikeouts and two walks. He posted a 2.20 ERA in May after Tuesday’s start.
