"The Nationals allowed 31 runs in three games, which comes out to more than 10 runs per game. You are not beating any team allowing that many runs, especially not the Dodgers."
"Miles Mikolas allowed 11 runs, which set a club record. Los Angeles hit five home runs in that game and turned a 3-0 deficit into a 13-6 win."
"Foster Griffin served up the only real pitching bright spot of the series in the finale. Griffin went five innings, allowed just one run and struck out six."
"The bullpen collapsed. PJ Poulin allowed a two-run homer. Cionel Perez gave up four runs without recording an out. The Dodgers scored seven runs after Griffin left."
The Nationals faced a disappointing home opening series, losing all three games to the Dodgers. After starting the season strong, they fell to 3-6.
