The Washington Nationals face challenges as they arrive in Cincinnati post a late game in Philadelphia, followed by a rain delay impacting their weekend schedule. With a 14-18 record, the team needs to secure more wins, particularly in close games. Stand-in manager Miguel Cairo commended the team for their competitiveness. Despite strong starting pitchers like Mitchell Parker and overall improvements since their initial losses, the Nationals continue to grapple with a poor bullpen ERA and defensive positioning issues, exemplified by struggles in metrics like OAA and WAR.
"Great job. Way to compete. [ Brad Lord] put us in a good spot." - Miguel Cairo said as the stand-in manager last night
"Getting the first win, that's a huge accomplishment. I was just extremely happy with it." - Lord said after last night's game
