At least Cruz delivers again.

Every player in the line-up has a hit.

EDIT: and I beat Bob to that comment.

There were some more, but I deleted them as pointless since no one else was posting.

Keibert with his pop showing up

Machado pitching just to annoy Welch.

Dave in Fairfax · « **Reply #11:** June 10, 2022, 09:57:36 PM »

Was that two errors?

Edit: one on the bobble to allow the batter to reach 1st, and one on the airmail to allow Yelich to get to 3rd.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #12:** June 10, 2022, 10:00:01 PM »

Missed it, tbh.

Dave in Fairfax · « **Reply #13:** June 10, 2022, 10:07:18 PM »

The box score now shows two errors, so the scorer must have come to a decision.

Cruz is having a pretty good game.

Six players with a multi-hit game. Runs scored in six of eight innings. Four home-runs.

Would have been nice to see some of this in Miami.

Alcantara only pitched one of the three games there. Cabrera and Rogers both had ERAs over 5.

looking at the season records, 2008 began its fade to oblivion in June after a 24-33 start. Team had been in last place for good in the division by the 10th game of the year. May 19 was the last time the team was as close as 6 games below .500, at 20-26. A win on 6/10 was in the middle of a 2-10 stretch that would drop the team to 26-42.

For now, the benchmark seasons look like 2008-2010 and 2021, with the 3 prior worst records being 2009, 2008, and 2021. The 2020 Nats finished 4 games ahead of this team through 60 games. By win percentage:

2009 - .364 (59-103)
2008 - .366 (59-102)
2022 - .367 (22-38) - in progress
2021 - .401 (65-97)
2010 - .426 (69-93) (niiiiice!) (also, flip of the 2019 record)
2020 - .433 (26-34)
