It's not the amount, it's that they score 3-6 usually, where as the Nationals play games 1-2, 2-1, and then win game 13-0
Exactly.
Most of our runs I feel have come in blowouts, or games like Friday where we're already down and score some runs late in what is essentially garbage time.
When our opponent has 3 or 4 runs, we won't score more than 2. But when 3 runs is more than good enough to win, that's when we'll drop 8+.
