TheWashington Nationals' 2012 season was the eighth season for thebaseball franchise ofMajor League Baseball in theDistrict of Columbia, the fifth season atNationals Park, and the 44th since theoriginal team was started inMontreal, Quebec. After finishing theprevious season in third place with an 80–81 record, out of last place in theNational League East for the second time since moving to Washington, the Nationals made several moves to pursue playoff contention in 2012 and beyond. Despite being plagued with injuries, the Nationals had an impressive start to the season, never dropping below the .500 mark and consistently holding first or second place in their division. On September 3, the Nationals won their 82nd game of the season, making this season their first winning season since moving to Washington, D.C., in 2005 and the first for the franchise since2003. On September 20, the Nationals beat theLos Angeles Dodgers to clinch the franchise's first postseason berth since1981, as well as their first in a non-strike shortened season, and the first for a Washington-based team since theWashington Senators won the American League pennant in1933. On October 1, the Nationals clinched theNational League East title.[1] On October 3, they went on to clinch the best record in Major League Baseball at 98–64.[2] They played theSt. Louis Cardinals in theNLDS, which they lost three games to two.[3]

The Nationals held their 2012 spring training inViera, Florida, with home games played atSpace Coast Stadium.
On April 3, 2012, the Nationals placedDrew Storen andMichael Morse on the disabled list to start the season, andJohn Lannan was optioned to Triple-ASyracuse. The Nationals also started a "Take Back Our Park" campaign vs.Philadelphia so Nationals fans in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. could receive tickets for the series on May 4–6 in an advanced pre-sale. On April 28, 2012, top prospectBryce Harper made his Major League debut vs.Los Angeles in Los Angeles, finishing with a double and a go-ahead sacrifice fly. The Nationals, however, would lose the game on a Matt Kemp walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning.[citation needed]
At the All-Star break, which began on July 9, 2012, the Nationals were in first place in the NL East with a 49–34 record, four games ahead of the second-placeAtlanta Braves.[6]
On July 30, 2012, despite having an off day, the Nationals obtained the best record in baseball due to a loss by the Cincinnati Reds. This was the first time that a Washington baseball team held sole position of first place in MLB since 1933.[7]
On September 20, 2012, the Nats clinched their first Playoff berth since moving to Washington, with a 4–1 win over the L.A. Dodgers.
On October 1, 2012, the Nats clinched the NL East when the Braves lost 2–1 to the Pirates.
The Nats finished the season on October 3, 2012, defeating the Phillies 5–1. They finished with a 98–64 record, the best record in Major League baseball that year. The Nationals played 20 extra inning games during the season, the most of any MLB team in 2012.[8]
Nationals starting pitchersStephen Strasburg andGio González, and shortstopIan Desmond, were chosen to represent the Nationals in the 2012 All-Star Game. Desmond decided not to participate in order to rest a soreoblique muscle;Michael Bourn of theAtlanta Braves was chosen to go in his place.Giancarlo Stanton of theMiami Marlins declined to participate because of a serious knee injury which required surgery,[9] so the Nationals'Bryce Harper was chosen to play in his place. This made the 19-year-old Harper the youngest position player and the third youngest player to be named an All-Star.[10]
The Nationals therefore had four All-Stars, the most since they moved to Washington, D.C.[11]
The game was played on Tuesday, July 10, in Kansas City, and theNational League won, 8–0. Gonzalez and Strasburg each pitched one scoreless inning; Gonzalez struck out one batter, and Strasburg allowed a hit and a walk. Harper entered the game in the fifth inning as a pinch hitter and played the remainder of the game in left field; at the plate, he went 0–1 with a walk.[12]
