Nationals game context

Game time, probable pitchers, broadcast notes, and affiliate schedule.

They were really patient and waited for a really good pitch to hit, and they weren’t trying to do too much – especially when we got bases loaded..

The Nationals set a team record (2005-present) for the most walks drawn in a single inning in team history. They had drawn five free bases three times, but not in seven years: June 10, 2005 vs. Mariners (eighth inning); May 5, 2009 vs. Astros (sixth inning); April 7, 2019 vs. Mets (fifth inning).
