Nats clinch second consecutive winning season; Span’s hitting streak ends at 29

The Washington Nationals 3-2 win over the Miami Marlins was their 82nd of the 2013 season, clinching their second consecutive winning season.

Last D.C. consecutive winning seasons: 1930-1933 (won the AL pennant in 1933 under Joe Cronin)

Last D.C. manager before Davey Johnson to have consecutive winning seasons: Walter Johnson (1930-1932)

Last D.C. consecutive non-losing seasons: 1952-1953 (78-76 and 76-76) under Bucky Harris

On a down night, Denard Span’s hitting streak ended at 29 games, one short of Ryan Zimmerman’s modern record.

20 year old Bryce Harper hit his 20th home run of the season too:

That was all the scoring the Nats needed and all they got.

The Nats are 5 back of the play-in game.
