Nationals Push for Wild Card | Washington Nationals News

The Nationals are treating this series against the D-backs like a playoff race, fighting hard to win every game as they chase wild card positioning. With 19 series wins already this season, they’re locked in for a crucial weekend showdown against a team just ahead of them in the standings. Manager Blake Butera is pushing for maximum effort, while players like Dylan Crews stress the need to win tight, one-run games — a category where they’re 13-14. After a narrow loss in Game 1, they’re focused on turning things around at home and using this series as both a chance to climb the standings and build playoff experience.
