The Nationals are two games over .500. They have a positive run differential. They just wrapped up their best month in almost three years.
In Blake Butera's words, the foundation is starting to settle:
In NBA history, only once has a player had:
150+ points
75+ rebounds
50+ FT made
15+ threes made
15+ blocks
10+ steals
...over any 7-game span, regular season or playoffs.

CJ Abrams (.937 OPS) doubles home James Wood (.975 OPS) to give the Nationals a 1-0 lead over the Guardians.
The Nationals have played six straight against division leaders (Atlanta, Cleveland) and trailed for exactly two of these 99 half-innings.

Overall this season:
.344 AVG
1.010 OPS
