They've lost multiple pitchers to injury, seen several members of the lineup get o

They've scored nine runs in their last four games and six in their last four losses. The mailbag has avoided any serious tears and mild strains. It helps to dig

After the Nationals started 1-6, they have won four of their last five games. Winning cures all. Spirits are high. But the Nats do find themselves with one problem. Don’t worry, it’s a good one to have. There is a bit of an outfield conundrum forming in the Nats dugout, thanks to a scorching-hot start from Alex Call. Call made the Opening Day roste
