Summary

The Nats lost 4-2 to the Braves in a game that started three hours later than originally scheduled. Mark & Tim breakdown Josiah Gray's outing that was fantastic early on, but was sullied by a flurry of solo HRs that put Atlanta on top. Should he have been sent back out for the 7th inning? (11:10) The offense squandered many opportunities Friday night as they came up empty three times when they had two men on/ no outs. Josh Bell also was easily thrown out at home on a questionable send by Bob Henley in the 4th. Ryan Zimmerman had a chance for walk-off HR in the 9th, but alas, it did not come to be. (18:53) Reactions to the "Field of Dreams" game played Thursday night between the White Sox & Yankees. Will we see more of these novelty games? What sort of ways can the Nationals be incorporated into these sort of events? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
