Bats go cold for Nats in Cleveland

By Bill Ladson / MLB.com

CLEVELAND -- The Nationals wore replica jerseys of the 1924 Washington Senators against the Indians on Saturday night. That year, the Senators were the champions, defeating the New York Giants in the World Series.

However, the Nationals played like -- well -- the Nationals of last year, as they lost to the Indians, 7-1, at Progressive Field.
