It was just starting to get noticed and the luck of this franchise is that when something good is noticed nationally, it ends abruptly. Also, this was the last game of the road trip and the prospect of him coming home streak intact seemed too good to be true.<\/p>\n<p>As great as the streak was, the Nats were only 10-19 during it.
