WHISPERING SWEEP NOTHINGSThe Nationals won their season-high 5th straight game, 4-3 over the Rockies on Wed. night, as Ian Desmond broke a 3-3 tie with a 7th-inning solo home run…the win capped the Nationals’ 6th series sweep of the year, 4th in DC...Doug Fister al-lowed only a Michael McKenry 3-run shot (in the 2nd inning) in 7.0 innings to pock-et his 7th win...Jayson Werth’s 2-run shot in the 4th sparked the Nationals’ 20th comeback win, which Rafael Soriano fi nished off with his 20th save...the sweep was Washington’s fi rst at the Rockies’ expense since Aug. 12-14, 2005 at Coors Field.

DESMOND’S DECISIVE DINGERSIan Desmond’s game-winning solo home run, which snapped a 3-3 tie in the 7th inning on Wed. vs. COL, was his 7th go-ahead long ball hit in the 7th inning or later dating to the beginning of the 2012 season...among shortstops, only Jhonny Peralta (3) has more than 2 such homers in the same time span.

GREAT 8The Nationals moved a season-high 8 games above .500 with Wed.’s 4-3 home vic-tory over the Rockies...Washington is also 9-3 in 12 games dating to June 21.

6-3 ON THE FOURTHAs our Nation celebrates its 238th birthday, note that the Nationals own a 6-3 re-cord on July 4th (6-2 in DC, 0-1 on the road)...Washington has won 3 straight on the Nation’s birthday (W8-5 vs. MIL/2013, W9-4 vs. SFG/2012, W5-4 vs. CHI/2011).• This is the 3rd time the Nationals have hosted the Cubs on Independence Day...

Washington won the fi rst 2 meetings (W5-4 in 2011, W6-0 in 2006 at RFK).

KEEPING SCORE ON THE SEASONThe Nationals own the NL’s best, and MLB’s 4th-best, run diff erential, at +50 (342 for, 292 against)...MLB’s top 5: OAK (+128), SEA (+70), LAA (+50), Washington (+50), LAD (+48).

SCORE 4 = WIN MOREThe Nationals are 38-3 when scoring 4 or more runs and, conversely, just 8-35 when limited to 3 or less runs by opposing pitchers.

NATIONALS STAFF EARNS GOLD OR SILVER IN MANY STATISTICAL CATEGORIESWashington’s 3.04 staff ERA leads MLB (SEA ranks 2nd at 3.20)...Nationals pitch-ers also rank among MLB’s top 2 in these categories: fi elding-independent pitching (fi rst, 3.12), fewest earned runs allowed (fi rst, 258), homers allowed/9.0 inn. (2nd, 0.61), home runs allowed (2nd, 52), SO/BB ratio (2nd, 3.21/1), runs allowed (2nd, 292), walks/9.0 inn. (2nd, 2.48) and fewest blown saves (2nd, 5).

THE ‘PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN ...At 2.46 (70 ER/255.2 IP), Washington relievers rank 2nd in MLB in bullpen ERA, sand-wiched between the Padres (fi rst, 2.35) and Mariners (3rd, 2.53).

NEVER BETTERWashington has committed just 3 errors in 25 games dating to June 7...according to the Elias Sports Bureau, this is easily the Nationals’ fi nest 25-game stretch of defensive excellence since the team landed in DC in 2005...before this 25-game run, the fewest errors the Nationals committed in a 25-game span was 6 (twice in 2011).

BETTER LEATHERBy yielding just 2 unearned runs in June, the Nationals set a new club mark for few-est unearned runs allowed in a calendar month...as the season has progressed, the Nationals’ fi elding percentage has risen while their error totals and unearned runs allowed have steadily declined...a closer look:

MONTH FIELDING% ERRORS UNEARNED RUNS Mar./Apr. (28 games) .................... .975 26 19 May (26 games) ............................. .980 20 13 Since June 1 (30 games) ................ .993 8 2

DINGERS FROM THE DIAMOND DIRTThe 50 home runs hit by Washington infi elders (14 from 1B, 7 from 2B, 13 from 3B, 16 from SS) this season rank 2nd in MLB behind only the Blue Jays (54) infi eld.

POWER FROM THE PIVOTThe Nationals pace MLB in home runs (23) hit by middle infi elders (COL is 2nd with 22)...16 of these 23 middle-infi eld homers have been hit by shortstops (Ian Desmond 14, Zach Walters 1), 7 by second basemen (Danny Espinosa 6, Anthony Rendon 1).

WITH > WITHOUTWith Ryan Zimmerman in the starting lineup this season, the Nationals are 24-14 and average 4.8 runs per game (181 runs, 38 contests)...in 46 games sans Zimmerman, Washington has averaged of 3.5 runs a game (161 runs, 46 games) and is 22-24.

POP FROM THE TOPDenard Span (25 doubles, 5 triples, home run) currently leads all big league leadoff hitters with 31 extra-base hits...COL’s Charlie Blackmon (29) ranks 2nd.
