The Washington Nationals’ four-game winning streak ended in a 3-2 loss. A single error resulted in three runs after a routine bounce to Curtis Mead at third base. The Nationals had a rested bullpen, but the defensive mistake changed the outcome. The tying run reached second base when the game ended, leaving the team unable to complete the comeback. The Nationals have a day off and then return to Washington at one game over .500. The next opponent is the San Diego Padres on Friday. Blake Butera expressed hope the loss would not mark the end of their good play.
"The Washington Nationals four game winning streak came to an end. One error brought in three runs in a 3-2 loss. What is the saying about bad defense? The Nats have a day-off tomorrow and head back to Washington at one game over .500."
"The Nats had what seemed to be an advantage of a very rested bullpen, but the error changed everything on a routine bounce to Curtis Mead at third base. The Nats had the tying run at second base when the game ended."
""Hopefully this isn't the end of the stretch of good baseball.""
