 And the Nationals struggled early over the first three innings. They did not manage a hit against Severino. They had a couple of walks, but did not have a runner past first base. Meanwhile, Corbin surrendered a one-out solo homer for Brandon Nimmo in the bottom of the first inning, but pitched around any other difficulty over the first three innings. So the Nationals came to the plate with a deficit of 1-0 in the fourth inning, and they would stack some hits together finally against Severino.
