The Nationals have now dropped 6 straight.

With no one out in the top of the fourth, Dave Matthews had a chance to do some damage. Washington (GCL) was trailing 10-0, but had the bases loaded. Matthews came to the plate against Jim Rivera, and hit a sacrifice fly. But it was not enough to complete a Washington (GCL) comeback.
