2022 - 19th April (12th match)
2009 - 29th April (20th match)
2020 - 10th August (12th match)
On a per game basis, 2025 is in interesting company - 2015 and 2024 is equal, but 5-6 is better than 2020-22 by a game and right behind 2010, 2011, 2018 and 2019 by a game. That is about half the seasons the Nats have started within a game of .500.
