After a promising 3-1 start, the Washington Nationals have struggled, enduring a 5-game losing streak followed by a brief victory over the Cardinals before losing the series. The bullpen’s frequent blown leads have overshadowed decent pitching performances from Zack Littell and Cade Cavalli. As they face the Brewers, who are 8-4 and boast a strong lineup, the Nats need their starters to perform well and capitalize on offensive opportunities to turn their season around.
