Nathaniel Lowe went 3-for-4 and drove in the Nationals’ lone run in Sunday night’s loss to the Rockies.
Lowe got the Nationals on the board first in this one with a run-scoring single off of Antonio Senzatela in the first inning that plated James Wood. That would wind up being the extent of their offense in the ballgame though. As a team, the Nationals had eight hits in the contest, with Lowe the only player to tally more than one. He has been outstanding so far with his new ballclub, slashing a robust .295/.375/.474 with three homers, 17 RBI and one stolen base through his first 22 games.
Heliot Ramos went 3-for-4 in a loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.
Ramos was one of the few hitters who had any offensive success against Merrill Kelly in a game where the GIants were held to just one run by Kelly and the D-Backs’ bullpen. The three knocks ups his average to .290, and he’s been on fire in the month of May with a .400/.472/,800 slash over his 30 at-bats in that timeframe.
