PRACTICALLY PERFECT
Since May 9, the Nationals bullpen has posted a 0.56 ERA (2 ER/32.1 IP), 9.7 strikeouts per
nine innings, a 3.50 strikeout-to-walk ratio, and has surrendered just four extra base hits (4
doubles)That is far-and-away the best bullpen ERA in MLB in that stretch (2nd: NYM, 1.63).
Nationals relievers have also not allowed a single inherited runner to score during this run
(20 IR, 0 IRS)Since May 9, the Milwaukee Brewers (6 IR, 0 IRS) are the only other pen
not to allow an inherited runner to score in this span.
SETTING THE PACE
The Nationals pitching staff, as a whole, leads MLB with 412 strikeouts and ranks second in
MLB with a 2.79 ERA...The staff also ranks in MLB in opp. slugging percentage (2nd, .344),
opp. OPS (2nd, .637), WHIP (2nd, 1.14), hits/9.0 innings (3rd, 7.46), opp. average (3rd, .226),
and opp. OBP (3rd, .292).
The Nationals boast four starting pitchers in the top 18 in ERA in the National League: LHP
Gio Gonzalez (3rd, 1.86), RHP Joe Ross (T11th, 2.70), RHP Stephen Strasburg (15th,
2.80) and RHP Tanner Roark (18th, 2.89)...No other team has more than three.
SPOTLESS SHAWN
Nationals RHP Shawn Kelley is one of only two relievers in MLB who has pitched at least
10.0 innings and is yet to allow an earned run...Kelley, who signed a three-year contract with
Washington this offseason, is 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA in 19 appearances (15.0 IP) this season...
He has struck out 21 batters against just two walks (one of which was intentional) and surrendered 10 hits...SDP RHP Fernando Rodney (17 G, 17.0 IP, 10 SV) is Kelleys only company.
WALKIN ON
Nationals RF Bryce Harper leads the Major Leagues in on-base percentage (.451), walks
(48) and intentional walks (13)...He also ranks in the NL in OPS (3rd, 1.016), home runs (T5th,
11), RBI (T9th, 30) and slugging percentage (8th, .565).
The 2015 NL MVP is tied for first in the National League with 10 go-ahead RBI this year,
