Express sports columnist Matt Swenson calls 'em as he sees 'em.
AS WE ENTER JUNE, there's one surprise left about these Washington Nationals — and it isn't that they were outscored 15-0 in the first two games of their series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

It was a given that third baseman Ryan Zimmerman would be the Nats' lone representative in the mid-season classic. Last year's real rookie of the year is Washington's cornerstone and the only player who many fans outside D.C. can name.
Yet that .242 average with six homers and 22 RBI isn't anything to write home about.
