Ian Desmond, who has made six errors in nine games, is at a complete loss for his struggles in the field.

He cost the Washington Nationals three unearned runs in an 8-7 loss to the Boston Red Sox with an error on Tuesday night.

"It sucks," Desmond told reporters after Tuesday's game. "I don't know what to do. I'm doing everything I can. Sitting here answering questions after every game is brutal. But, I mean, what am I gonna do?"

All of Desmond's six errors -- which is more than 18 major league teams have at this point -- have come in losses, and five of them have led to 10 unearned runs.

"Do I worry about it? Of course," Desmond said before Tuesday's contest. "Do I want to get out of it? Of course. I don't ever want it to be part of my game. Every day, I come to the field thinking, 'This is gonna be the day where it goes away.' I do everything I can on the field to get rid of it mentally and physically."
