Welcome to the second half of the 2022 season. The Washington Nationals kick off the second half with a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Arizona. The Washington Nationals also kick off the 2022 season with the worst record in baseball.
Washington snapped a nine-game losing streak in the final game before the All-Star Break, defeating the Atlanta Braves, 7–3 on July 17. Washington will play 38 of their final 68 games on the road to end the season.
There has been a lot of talk about the Washington Nationals and a specific player's contracts; plane flights, oh my! Glad that we can now take a break from it all that enjoy some baseball until the next news drops!
