Summary

The Nats rallied in Atlanta for a 3-2 victory to end their five game losing streak. Al & Mark react to the ninth inning where new acquisition Riley Adams hit a go ahead 2 run homer off of Braves closer Will Smith. (7:27) Josiah Gray was terrific on the mound as he had 10 Ks in 5 IP. How excited should Nationals fans be after an outing like this? Should Gray have stayed in the game to pitch the 6th? (19:12) Juan Soto did not start for a second straight game, but did pinch hit in the 6th. When should we expect him to return to the lineup? Plus, Mark explains why Victor Robles was the odd man out in the outfield starting lineup. (29:31) Trea Turner addressed reporters Saturday in Los Angeles and fielded questions about how his Nationals tenure ended. What to make of his rather frank comments regarding the failed extension talks? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
