Trevor Story homered and the Boston Red Sox beat Washington 6-4 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep, with the Nationals firing manager Dave Martinez and general manager Mike Rizzo hours after the game.

An eight-game hitting streak for Story again speaks to the theme that the Red Sox go as Trevor Story goes. An average of .469 is insane over that stretch, including 4 doubles, 3 HRs, 12 RBI and a 1.375 OPS. His only hit today was a two-run shot but that’s crazy numbers.

A massively disappointing first half to a season that was expected to feature significant on-field progress four years into a franchise rebuild has cost the two most prominent people in the Nationals organization their jobs.
