## Resource

The Nationals are surging above .500, fueled by a league-leading offense and a promising turnaround on the mound. With five wins in their last seven, they’re eyeing their third home series win this month against a Padres pitcher still searching for his first victory. While their pitching woes have plagued the season—ranking last in runs allowed—recent bright spots like healthy arms Foster Griffin and Cade Cavalli, plus standout outings from Miles Mikolas and Zack Littell, signal a turning point. As a potential 2027 salary cap looms, the Nationals are focused on building momentum now, proving they can exceed expectations even without a financial safety net.
