What to watch for as Nats try to even the series against Rockies

By NBC Sports Washington

Here are three things to watch for as the Nationals try to even the series in Colorado:

  1. Brian Dozier’s slow start to 2019 seems to be in the rearview mirror. The second baseman hit his third long-ball in four games Monday night inside Coors Field.
  2. How long will Anthony Rendon be held out of the lineup? The third baseman is nursing his left elbow after being hit by a Jose Urena pitch Saturday in Miami.
  3. One of the MLB’s best closers remains unsigned 20+ games into the season. Craig Kimbrel could very well help solve an NL East division-wide problem.

Coming Up:

Tuesday, 4/23: Nationals @ Rockies, 8:40 p.m. ET, Coors Field

Wednesday, 4/24: Nationals @ Rockies, 3:10 p.m. ET, Coors Field

Friday, 4/26: Padres @ Nationals, 7:05 p.m. ET, Nationals Park

Nationals Notebook: Nats’ bats wake up out west

By Dave Preston
The Washington Nationals may have begun June with a 3-1 loss at Arizona, but the club finished a 15-12 May with consecutive offensive extravaganzas. The team scored nine runs in its last two games against Seattle, and then plated nine and 11 in its first two games at Arizona. And even though the offense ran dry Sunday, the Nats have moved into third place in the NL East. And even though they're 28-31, we'll be the king of wishful thinking.
