Week in Review: July 7th-13th
By Andrew Flax
This week was a pretty bad one, as far as weeks go. The joy from last week’s sweep of the Padres evaporated, and the offense went with it. The Nats couldn’t buy a run against the Phillies, and lost three of four there before dropping the first two in Miami. Division games are the most important, which makes this hurt even more. Perhaps the second half will bring better things. In case you missed it, here’s this week in review:
