The Washington Nationals may have just had the nightmare weekend that sealed their fate for the season, getting swept by the Miami Marlins with all three losses

Dave Martinez’s pointed comments this weekend created a firestorm, but they also made painfully clear that the team’s long-standing problems remain difficult to fix.

The Washington Nationals fell to an agonizing 4-3 defeat in their game against the Miami Marlins on Saturday. But it was not all doom and gloom for the Nationals and their fans as the team’s “top paw-spect” made his long-awaited MLB debut.

The Washington Nationals haven’t reached the playoffs since winning the World Series in 2019, getting stuck in a prolonged rebuild.

The dog days of summer arrived at Nationals Park. Bruce, a 21-month-old golden retriever, fetched a bat during a ceremony before the Washington Nationals’ game against the Miami Marlins as part of a Pups in the Park promotion.

Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez didn't help his case for another season with his comments after a recent loss.

It’s Monday, June 16 and the Rockies (14-57) are in Washington to take on the Nationals (30-41). Carson Palmquist is slated to take the mound for Colorado against Jake Irvin for Washington. The Nationals have lost eight consecutive games and are coming off being swept in a three-game series to the Marlins and Mets over the past seven days.
