With their performances over the last five games, the Chicago Cubs have appeared to put their struggles at the plate behind them. However, a lot of teams are having trouble scoring against the Washington Nationals. The Cubs will try to keep their offense going Monday night against the surprising Nationals as the teams begin a three-game series at Wrigley Field. Chicago batted an major league-worst .197 in its first six games, then totaled six runs during four consecutive losses April 17-20. The Cubs have come on since that slide, winning four of five while outscoring opponents 36-12 and batting .340 with seven home runs. Four of those homers came in Sunday’s 12-2 rout of Milwaukee to complete a three-game road sweep. Kosuke Fukudome and Tyler Colvin both finished a triple shy of the cycle, and Ryan Theriot matched a career high with five hits.

Scoring may be easier said than done against a Nationals team that has a 2.02 ERA in its last five games and completed a 6-4 homestand with Sunday’s 1-0 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Scott Olsen earned the win, while Tyler Clippard and Matt Capps shut the Dodgers down over the final two innings. Closer Capps and setup man Clippard each have an ERA under one, heading a bullpen that’s allowed one run and eight hits over its last 15 innings. The Nationals had an NL-worst 5.00 ERA in 2009, and a 6.29 ERA through the first 14 games this season.
