19-31 is just a distant memory for the Washington Nationals.
Even without Max Scherzer for all but one game over the past month-plus, even with recurring bullpen issues, even though they dug themselves quite a hole, the Nationals are suddenly 65-55 — 10 games over .500 for the first time in 14 months.
"Still a lot of work to be done. We need to keep our foot on the accelerator," right fielder Adam Eaton said after hitting one of Washington's three homers during a 10-run fifth inning Wednesday that propelled it to a 17-7 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, completing a three-game sweep. Lefty Patrick Corbin is scheduled to start the series opener, but otherwise, Washington hasn't announced who its pitchers will be Saturday or Sunday.
Ross, in particular, has really turned things around after toggling between the Nationals' bullpen and the minors, going 3-0 with a 0.50 ERA."We asked these guys to step up," Martinez said.
