Giolito decent, but Nats offense falls short in loss to Colorado Rockies

How it happened: Given the circumstances of his start and the lineup he was facing, the Nationals couldn't have asked for much more than they got from 22-year-old rookie Lucas Giolito on Sunday against the Rockies. Giolito stared down the best lineup in the National League and made it a career-high five innings with four runs allowed. It wasn't the greatest outing, of course, but the Nats have certainly seen worse both lately and against the Rockies.
