The Blue Jays have won seven straight against the Nationals after sweeping the first two games of this "home-and-home" series. It is Toronto's longest ever win streak against the Nationals/Expos franchise and its second longest win streak over a single NL opponent (eight straight vs. Phillies from 2011-14).

Washington dropped its first two games against Toronto to fall to 1-4 on the year, having scored two runs or fewer in each of its losses this season. The Nats have really struggled late in games, scoring just two runs from the sixth inning on and slashing a horrific .170/.254/.321 in the final four frames.

Toronto slammed six home runs in its last two games against Washington, all with the bases empty. In fact, since Cavan Biggio's three-run blast on Opening Day in Tampa, the Jays have hit seven consecutive solo home runs -- only eight other teams have seven total home runs this season.

Trea Turner had two doubles in Tuesday's loss to the Blue Jays and is now batting 7-for-20 (.350) in five career games against Toronto, with a hit in every game. However, he has scored just two runs in that span and the Nationals have lost all five of those games.

Max Scherzer has gone 4-2 with a 2.24 ERA in nine career starts against the Blue Jays, but has lost each of his last two starts against Toronto dating back to 2015. Scherzer has earned the loss in three straight starts against a single opponent just once in his career -- an active three-game skid against the Yankees that includes his Opening Day loss.

Hyun Jin Ryu is slated to start for Toronto tomorrow night and looks to build on his stellar record against the Nationals -- 3-1 with a 1.64 ERA in six starts (incl. postseason). Since the club moved to Washington in 2005, Ryu's .223 opponent slugging against the Nats ranks fourth among pitchers with at least 100 batters faced.

Nate Pearson will face a formidable mound opponent Wednesday night when he makes his major league debut against the host Washington Nationals.
The 23-year-old right-hander will oppose right-hander Max Scherzer (0-1, 6.75 ERA).

Jays' Pearson set for debut vs. Nationals, Scherzer

WASHINGTON (AP)  Playing as the ''visiting'' team in their own stadium against the can't-play-at-home Blue Jays, Dave Martinez's Washington Nationals didn't even get the benefit of a boost from fake ''cheering'' by nonexistent ''spectators'' - those were reserved for Toronto's exploits Wednesday night.
So in this odd-as-can-be, upside-down, pandemic-altered season, the Nationals provided their own soundtrack of yells and claps and banging bats in a noisy dugout, reverberating through the empty yard.
