0-2

Looks like the NATS are going 0-2 in their first two games of spring training. After yesterdays 12-7 loss to the Dodgers they are behind 6-2 to the Orioles today. Outside of Hanrahan who gave up 5 runs in a 1/3 of an inning the pitching has been strong including Patterson who got the start and gave up a run on a couple of bloops.

As far as the offence goes Zimmerman has strung together four hits including an HR , and Church has a walk along with his double from yesterday. The offence is slow in getting itself going and the spring training errors are being made by backups. Its early but there is a lot of work to be done. But the pitching staff is not going to be as bad as many have predicted.
