Game storylines and notes
The Washington Nationals look to go over .500 for the first time this season as they face the Toronto Blue Jays this afternoon.
Last time out.
The Washington Nationals kicked off their weekend series against the Blue Jays last night with a 9-3 victory. Trailing 3-1 in the bottom of the seventh, Luis García Jr. hit a go-ahead pinch-hit three-run home run that would propel the Nationals to win. The Nationals scored four runs in the seventh and then four runs in the eighth inning to secure a 9-3 victory over the Blue Jays.
One item of concern from last night’s game is the status of outfielder Jacob Young. According to media reports after the game, the outfielder was when he departed the game with back spasms.
Hot at shortstop.
CJ Abrams has reached safely in 18 of his last 19 games and has hit safely in 17 of the 19.
