WEEKRECORDRANKCOMMENT
Week 8 24-17 7 Jordan Zimmermann has pitched far better than his record (2-4) indicates, as he's allowed three or fewer earned runs in seven of his eight starts. -- ESPN.com
Week 7 21-13 6 The loss of Wilson Ramos means the Nats will lose significant time from their starting catcher, right fielder (Jayson Werth), left fielder (Michael Morse) and closer (Drew Storen) this season, and May isn't halfway done yet. -- Harper Gordek: Nationals Baseball
Week 6 18-10 4 Gio Gonzalez has been outstanding over his last five starts as he's compiled a 0.82 ERA while not having allowed a home run in that span. -- ESPN.com
Week 5 14-8 5 The Nationals' pitching is still great (2.33 team ERA), but you don't win with pitching alone. In losing its past four games, Washington has scored a mere six runs, and only 29 runners have scored in its past 11. -- Harper Gordek: Nationals Baseball
Week 4 12-4 6 The Nats may be buoyed by a 6-2 record in one-run games, but the majors' leading pitching staff (2.34 ERA) would have them in first place regardless of luck. -- Harper Gordek: Nationals Baseball
Week 3 7-3 6 The Nationals' starters have a crazy 1.75 ERA so far this year, leading the National League by two-thirds of a run. -- Harper Gordek: Nationals Baseball
Week 2 2-1 9 Stephen Strasburg and Jordan Zimmermann pitched outstanding for the Nationals in their first starts of the season. -- ESPN.com
Week 1 0-0 16 Stephen Strasburg had a rough spring, as he was 1-4 with a 4.18 ERA in six starts. The Nats had better hope the bad numbers don't continue once the games begin to count. -- ESPN.com
