Summary
The Nationals are on fire, turning things around with a stellar May record and a pitching resurgence led by veterans like Mikolas and Littell, who slashed their ERAs from the 8s to under 3. Offense is still the star, with James Wood dominating at the top of the lineup, leading the league in walks, runs, and OBP while hitting over .300. The whole lineup stepped up, thanks to breakout performances from Curtis Mead, Luis Garcia Jr., and Jacob Young—whose five homers in May alone are career-defining. Keibert Ruiz also transformed from April’s slump to May’s MVP-caliber hitter, crushing the ball with power and an OPS over 1.100. This team is looking like a serious contender.
