Can Nationals Continue Their Winning Streak at Home Against Dodgers?

As the Washington Nationals prepare to host the Los Angeles Dodgers at Nationals Park, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain its recent success. The Nationals have shown a promising trend in their last three games, all of which were victories against the Houston Astros. These wins have been characterized by strong hitting and effective pitching, key components that they hope will carry over into their next game.

In their most recent matchup, the Nationals' offense was on full display with 11 hits leading to six runs. Their batting average was an impressive .333 and they managed to get on base at a .421 clip. The team's pitchers also held up their end of the bargain by not allowing any runs and limiting the Astros to just four hits over nine innings.

The bullpen has been particularly effective for Washington, maintaining a perfect earned run average (ERA) in that game. Mitchell Parker emerged as a winning pitcher, contributing significantly to this shutout performance.

Looking back further, we see consistency in Washington's play. In an extra-inning thriller two games ago, they pulled off a win with five runs on nine hits while overcoming two errors. Their resilience was evident as they outlasted Houston despite some defensive hiccups.

Three games ago saw another solid performance from both sides of the ball for Washington; although they lost that game with three runs on eight hits against five allowed by Houston's thirteen hits.

With these trends in mind, fans can expect another exciting contest when these two teams meet again. The venue could play a role too; playing at home has been favorable for Washington recently and could provide them with an additional edge.

The upcoming clash between the Nationals and Dodgers is scheduled for April 24th at 6:45 PM Eastern Time at Nationals Park in Washington D.C., USA. Fans can catch all the action live on SportsNet LA network.
