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 by two runs or fewer. Sunday saw another wasted outing by ace MacKenzie Gore, who posted 6.0 innings with two earned runs and five strikeouts – his record now drops to 3-6 with the loss. CJ Abrams and James Wood combined for nine hits in the series at the top of the order, and the Nationals still couldn’t get it done. In this case, “it” refers to not humiliating themselves against the last-place team in their own National League East division.
