Nationals Back on Track…Defeat Astros 8-2
Going into tonight’s game, the Washington Nationals stood 3 ½ games out of a Wild Card slot.

Washington Wins Wild One Over Astros 12-11
Miles Mikolas was able to start the game tonight for the Nationals even though he’s technically been suspended. His appeal hadn’t been answered as of game time. Cade Cavalli’s appeal did come through and his suspension was lowered from 7 games to 5, which is usually what happens. That means he won’t even miss a start. Doesn’t make much sense. What was the point of the suspension? Tonight’s attendance 11,092. Hold on…here we go! Top of the 1st, Isaac Paredes walked and Christi

Bernie Sanders' Socialist Takeover of the Democrats Is No Longer a Secret—It's a Full-Blown Revolution
WASHINGTON DC — The mask is off. For decades, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has masqueraded as a quirky independent fighting for the "working class."
