Another rough one on Sunday for Matt Williams' 8th inning guy.
"Leaves a sour taste in our mouth because we know what we’re capable of."

Rockies 6, Nationals 4: A perfect ending to a lost home stand against the putrid Diamondbacks and Rockies.
Just a make-or-break 10-game West Coast trip on deck, no big deal.
"You can’t look at baseball on a day-to-day basis. That’s why it’s so hard for you guys. You guys have to write things that really don’t matter because you can’t talk about stuff every day in baseball. I’m glad I don’t have your job. It’s more of a large sample size sport. Look at the Mets earlier in the year, they won [11] in a row and then everyone said that they’re this great team and then they lost eight in a row and now they’re winning seven in a row." (Ryan Zimmerman, via Nats Insider, 8/10/2015)
Don't tell Bryce Harper, but the Mets also lost on Sunday. Nats still 1 1/2 games back in NL East.
