4/5/13-4/7/13: Nationals (2-1) @ Reds (2-1)

[Rafael122]

First road trip of the season, and it's against the 2012 Central Division champions, Cincinnati Reds. Big early season match up between two teams favored to go deep in the NL playoffs. Dan Haren and Ross Detwiler make their season debuts. Strasburg vs. Cueto is the big matchup of the series, and that takes place on Sunday. Should be a good test for both clubs.

Horrible series for the Nats. The Reds play in a sandbox so homers the normally wouldn't go out in other ball parks hit the second deck in this one. Reds took 2 out of 3. It was a good early season test for the Nats, and they meet up in a couple of weeks in DC.

That 15-1 loss had to be one of the worse losses in Nats history.
