Regular season

March

The Nationals opened the 2008 MLB season by hosting the Atlanta Braves in a nationally-televised night game on March 30, 2008. It was the first professional regular-season game to be played at the Nationals' new facility Nationals Park. President George W. Bush threw the ceremonial first pitch to Nationals' manager Manny Acta, and Ryan Zimmerman hit a two-out, walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to mark an exciting beginning to the 2008 season. The Nationals also blew out the Phillies 11-6.

April

The Nationals clinched the series against the Phillies, winning 1-0. However, the Nationals struggled after a promising 3-0 start, losing 16 of their next 19 games to start off 6-16, but the Nats improved for the rest of the month, earning splits @ Atlanta, vs the Mets, and winning series vs the Braves, and the Pirates.

May

The Nats started May winning 3 of the first 4 games of the month, earning them a 14-18 record, but lost 2 of 3 @ Houston, and getting swept vs the Florida Marlins at home. Then they took 3 of 4 against the struggling Mets at Shea, but in the first Beltway Series of 2008, they were nipped by the Orioles at Baltimore & lost 2 of 3 against the high powered offense of Philly. They split the series 2 games apiece against the Brewers, and lost the series to the Padres. The Nats then beat up on the D'backs on the first game of the series.
