Nationals bring pride, confidence into NLDS

After they won the National League East title on Sept. 16, the Nationals didn’t let up, going 9-3 until the regular season came to an end. They finished with the best record in the NL, earning them home-field advantage through the NL Championship Series, should they make it that far. They will face either the Giants or the Pirates in the NL Division Series, beginning Friday afternoon at Nationals Park.
