The Washington Nationals are currently facing an 8-game losing streak, with a recent 3-1 loss to the Miami Marlins. Their next challenge is against the Colorado Rockies, with Jake Irvin starting against struggling lefty Carson Palmquist. Despite a tough season, manager Dave Martinez emphasizes the potential and fight within the team, stating the players are willing to give their best. The Nats have also made key roster changes, promoting Brady House and recalling Daylen Lile, as they seek a way to turn their season around amidst disappointing defensive stats and underperforming players.
"We're looking at different options, for sure, but we've won before with these guys. They see what it's like to win games, a few in a row. I know they don't come to the ballpark thinking they're going to lose. They thought again we had a chance to win today. We've got to keep battling. We've got 26 guys in that clubhouse that are going to give me everything they've got every day. We'll focus on those 26 guys right now." - manager Dave Martinez
Palmquist is a little better on the road, away from Colorado. So we will see what happens since we have to play the games.
Jake Irvin to be their stopper as they face a Rockies lefty, Carson Palmquist who is 0-4 with a 7.77 ERA in his career with a 1.82 WHIP.
The Nationals made five roster moves starting with the MLB debut of Brady House, and Daylen Lile was called-up for his second try.
