Game Recaps and Weekend Look Ahead
Via Washington Nationals
⚾ DUGOUT DISPATCH
With less than two weeks of Spring Training to go, the Nationals have built themselves a nice bit of consistency with their win streak lately. The upcoming games will prove if it’s something that they can keep up going into the season.
📊 THE BOX SCORE:
The Nats beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-1 in their matchup on Wednesday afternoon, with Cade Cavalli and the bullpen striking out seven batters
Thursday evening against the Houston Astros, the Nationals came back in the ninth inning to win it 3-2, powered by a Trey Lipscomb single and some sloppy defense from the Astros
Today at 6:05 PM ET, the Nats take on the New York Mets at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches, with Zack Littell taking the mound for his first start as a National
The Nationals play the Miami Marlins on Saturday at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches at 12:05 PM ET, which can be followed on The Team 980 via the MLB app
Sunday afternoon’s matchup for the Nats is against the St. Louis Cardinals at 1:05 PM ET at Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium, and can be listened to on 106.7 The Fan via the MLB app
🗣️ LOCKER ROOM LORE
As the Nats head into the weekend, we all brace ourselves to see if they can keep their five-game win streak alive against two teams that they’ve beaten during this win streak in the Cardinals and the Marlins. This hot streak showcases some consistency from the team, something they haven’t really been able to put together since the beginning of Spring Training. This could be a sign of what’s to come during the season, consistently winning games and building a small streak, even if it’s through messy games and hard-fought comebacks.
💬 FAN’S CHOICE
What do you think of the Nats’ latest stretch of games? Do you think they can keep this win streak alive?

Gray Hair? This Is How You Reduce It Naturally
Dye fixes gray hair… by giving you a new problem: looking dyed. Particle Anti-Gray Serum is the all-natural, non-dye, no-mess solution for men who want their real color back, not a recreation of it.
The 5-second daily spray works gradually at the root to restore pigment for natural, visible results on your hair and beard.
Unlike hair dyes that aggressively color your hair and require annoying upkeep, Particle Anti-Gray Serum is clean and extremely easy to use. It stimulates the melanin inside the hair and does not use artificial color.
