Nats hold meeting after dropping below .500

Following Wednesday afternoon’s 3-0 loss to the Red Sox at Nationals Park, the Nats called a players-only meeting, an attempt to turn around a season spiraling downward. The 15-minute meeting was called by the team’s veteran leaders, and Max Scherzer assumed the main speaking role, with the overall message being that they are a good team, but that they need to play better.
