VIDEO: Blake Treinen takes Nationals' defensive woes to new heights

The Washington Nationals have been appalling in the field through the first few games of the 2015 campaign, but the club's defensive woes became downright laughable Tuesday night at Fenway Park.
Blake Treinen, the 27-year-old reliever who ranked among the team's worst-fielding pitchers last season, is singularly responsible for that.
In addition to Treinen's truly epic miscue, the Nationals committed another two errors Tuesday night against the Boston Red Sox, raising their season total to nine - the most in the National League.
