## Resource

The Washington Nationals defense is in crisis, with the worst fielding percentage in MLB. Errors and unearned runs have cost them a four-to-one loss against the Brewers. The infield, particularly third base, is struggling, with House, Nunez, Abrams, and Vivas all making mistakes. The Nats need to improve quickly to avoid losing more games.
