WASHINGTON — There was no better place than Nats Park on Wednesday for 14,500 crazed fans to watch as the Washington Nationals proved they are going to do whatever it takes to finish the fight.
The crushing 12-3 victory over the Astros puts the Nats ahead in the series 2-0.
For comparison, the lowest game attendance recorded at Nats Park in 2019 was 14,628 on July 24 for the first game of a double header against the Colorado Rockies.
That means that nearly as many people showed up to the stadium when there wasn't even a live game playing to cheer the Nats on to victory with their neighbors. That is some serious Natitude!
The Nationals will play their first home World Series game in Nats Park Friday, followed by Game 4 on Saturday and, if needed, Game 5 on Sunday.
Game 6 and 7, if necessary, would be played back at Minute Maid Park in Houston on October 29 and 30, respectively.
