Summary

The Nats lost 4-1 to the visiting Giants on Monday night to begin the four game series. Mark & Al point out how the offense has scored less than two runs in 22 of their 62 defeats thus far this season. The Nationals have hit the fewest homers in all of MLB this year, even less than the woeful White Sox. (06:00) CJ Abrams went 0 for 5 in the leadoff spot and his August is off to a slow start. Abrams' OPS was at .857 at the end of June, but it now currently sits at .769. (17:10) Is Hitting Coach Darnell Coles' job on the line in the final few months? We've received many emails and tweets on the topic and this leads to discussion on Victor Robles' recent success in Seattle. (24:00) Patrick Corbin was tagged with the loss as San Francisco quickly took a 4-0 lead vs. the lefty. Corbin's ERA is now up to 5.88 and hopes of it falling below 5.00 seemed to be dashed. (29:25) We shine a spotlight on a pair of pitchers at the Single-A level. Travis Sykora, who recently threw five no-hit innings for the Fred Nats, and also Jarlin Susana of the Wilmington Blue Rocks.
