Of late, the Washington Nationals have been said to be lacking power in their lineup, but Friday night it was the stadium that required an energy boost.
Not one, not two, but THREE times during the Dodgers-Nationals game, lights went out at the park, causing some fans to get cranky when the umpires called the game.

See, the thing was, Taylor Swift was the last person to use the stadium. Needless to say, the players saw the funny side:
Well who was the last one to use Nationals Park last? Taylor Swift.. I blame her for the power outs tonight. We now have #BadBlood

I like the theory that the lights are Taylor Swift's fault.
