As the Washington Nationals prepare to face the Cincinnati Reds starting Tuesday night, they bring with them a troubling record of 39 errors, the worst in Major League Baseball (MLB). This poor fielding has hindered their ability to capitalize on solid pitching performances, including a recent series loss to the Miami Marlins where they committed five errors. The Reds, conversely, are one of the better fielding teams in the league and recently ended an eight-game losing streak with a 5-0 victory over the Houston Astros. Nationals pitcher Miles Mikolas will start against the Reds' Brady Singer, who has struggled in recent outings. Cincinnati's Elly De La Cruz has been a standout performer, achieving three consecutive multi-hit games, contributing to the Reds' recent success. Both teams will look to improve their standings in this crucial matchup.
