Bryce Makes 178 All-time Homers and Nats have Hope...

Bryce Makes 178 All-time Homers and Nats have Hope...

The Nats win today. They split with the Braves, which have been leading the underachieving Nationals for months.

Bryce hit another home run last night in a losing cause (Juan Soto was ejected from his first game of his very promising career, and other would-be hits did not occur, including some questionable calls on Adam Eaton, which could have provided enough runs to win the double header. Instead, they split the 4 game series 2-2 today and trail the Phillies by more.

National League East GB
Phillies   64-50           --
Braves    62-50          1.0
Nats        59-56          5.5

About two months, or less, to go. Nats have to win more. Some relievers and even Strasburg has been hurt, so we shall see. 

Harper is tied for 406 all-time. Here is the list:

 Tony Lazzeri+ (14)178RHR Log
 Nick Markakis (13, 34)178LHR Log
410.Nolan Arenado (6, 27)177RHR Log
 Khris Davis (6, 30)177RHR Log

Quite a bunch of active players, two of whom have less time in the majors, but are older.
