Nationals

Here is a look at the team through roughly one-fourth of the year and how they compare to last season, plus some predictions for the next 41 games.
Adam LaRoche hit two towering home runs and Chad Tracy's solo shot in the 10th inning lifted the Washington Nationals to a 6-5 victory over the San Diego Padres on Friday night.
Pitching continues to be the story for most of the Nats' affiliates, but Anthony Rendon is crushing it at Harrisburg.
