James Wood’s walk-off two-run home run in the 11th inning against the Rockies yesterday signified more than just the end to the Nationals’ 11-game losing streak. It signified a moment where the rest of the baseball world might have caught onto the budding phenomenon that we already knew of here in Washington, D.C. “We kept saying the whole game, I said, 'Somehow, someway we'll win this game. We just gotta have the right moment,'” manager Davey Martinez said after the win.

The Nationals' clubhouse was playing music this morning as it normally does before a game. Traditionally, it’s the pick of that day’s starting pitcher. For Trevor Williams, it was a country/pop-rock combination. Despite an 11-game losing streak – one shy of the Nationals' club record (2005-present) – the vibes this morning felt no different than it normally does. There wasn’t extra tension. No one seemed to be walking on pins and needles.

What more can be said at this point? After now having lost the season series to the lowly Rockies, the Nationals must win this afternoon to avoid a four-game sweep in their home ballpark at the hands of the major leagues’ worst team. A victory would also keep them from a winless homestand and finally end this 11-game losing streak before it ties a club record. Trevor Williams will look to continue the solid effort the starting rotation has put forth.

As the Nationals have promoted some of their top prospects to the major league level this season – with more on the way – they have also moved some newer players up the minor league ranks. Seaver King, last year’s first-round pick (No. 10 overall) out of Wake Forest, was recently promoted from High-A Wilmington to Double-A Harrisburg, just 45 games into his first full professional season.

NEW YORK – Two rehabbing Nationals took important steps in their respective recoveries yesterday at Citi Field. Derek Law, recovering from right forearm inflammation, threw a 25-pitch simulated game, with Paul DeJong, recovering from a fractured nose after being hit in the face with a fastball, stepping into the batter’s box against him. Law’s fastball topped out at 93 mph, while he also mixed in his slider and changeup, per manager Davey Martinez.

The Nats were swept by the Mets after another tough showing from the offense, even with 3 runs in the 9th. Meanwhile, Brady House hit his 13th homer in Rochester. So where can they find runs? "I think every pitch, every at-bat, is going to be important.” https://t.co/0TL9t05wFI
RT @AnthonyDiComo: Kodai Senga has a hamstring strain, according to Carlos Mendoza. He will go on the IL. No severity yet until an MRI tomo…
Final: Nats lose 4-3 to be swept by Mets. They scored three runs in the ninth, but it was too little, too late.
