And the presence of ace MacKenzie Gore on the mound couldn’t keep the Nationals from seeing their losing streak reach eight with a 3-1 loss to the Marlins.

The Washington Nationals lost, again, on Saturday, 4-3 to the Miami Marlins. They were actually on the cusp of contention heading into this month sitting 28-30, but they have gone 2-10 so far in June, including a current seven-game losing streak. They've only scored 30 runs (2.5 per game) and nine of those came in a loss on Friday.

Nationals manager Dave Martinez is not exactly sure where to point fingers for his team’s cold streak, but he knows where not to point them.
