How the Washington Nationals earned their best record since 2019

The Washington Nationals have won four games in a row, prompting a big picture check in on what's going right in the organization. James Wood and CJ Abrams, of course, have carried the load. But you can also look to players who weren't expect to carry the load this season — guys like Nasim Nuñez, Curtis Mead and Dylan Crews — and see just how much they have contributed to this stretch. We also discuss what the bullpen could still stand to fix, and the state of the fan base after Tuesday night’s game   Use our code for 10% off your next order of MLB tickets on SeatGeek*: seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/TERRITORY10 [https://seatgeek.onelink.me/RrnK/TERRITORY10] Sponsored by SeatGeek. *Restrictions apply.
