No Bryce Harper, no problem. The suspended Harper missed the series finale with the Giants, sat out the first two games of the trip to Oakland, and failed to record a hit in 13 plate appearances across three games, but the Nationals still managed a 5-1 record to push their lead in the division to 10.5 games.

Daniel Murphy hit .500/.533/.714, Ryan Zimmerman posted a .440/.517/.880 slash with a team best three homers and nine RBI, which helped him take the MLB RBI lead with 48. Trea Turner had 10 hits to join the offensive charge with Harper unavailable and unproductive.

Max Scherzer ended May with a 2.27 ERA across six starts after he tossed a complete game gem May 31 in San Francisco. Scherzer allowed one run on five hits and struck out 11 to improve his season ERA to 2.56. He has held opponents to a .186 average and has a 0.89 WHIP this year.
