After losing two out of three to the NL East-leading Braves over the weekend in Atlanta, things do not slow down for the Nationals as they travel to Houston to take on the defending champion Astros. The Nationals were able to salvage a game out of the series against the Braves on Sunday with a 6-2 win. Dominic Smith and Jeimer Candelario each hit two-run homers as part of a four-run sixth inning and Trevor Williams allowed two runs on seven hits in five strong innings to pick up the win.
“If they keep swinging like that in the middle of the lineup, we're going to do some good things,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said.
