 Rob Woodfork here. What happened to the Nats bats today? Yeah, it's a great question. They wrap up their final homestand before the All-Star break with a 6-0 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. It's their ninth shutout defeat of the season. Mitchell Parker, the hard luck loser despite his seven innings of six-hit, two-run ball with six strikeouts. The Nats bats 0-6.
