Summary

The Nats came up short yet again in extra innings; the latest a 7-5 loss against the Cubs. Al & Mark wonder how is it that the Nationals constantly struggle in that late stretch, as they are 3-18 in the past two seasons in extra innings. (05:48) CJ Abrams hit 7th again and earned his first hit in Washington in clutch fashion after singling in the tying run in the bottom of the 10th. Mark then gives his review of Abrams' glove work thus far. (16:05) It was another day in the life of Victor Robles where the bad was mixed with the good. Robles had an egregious TOOTBLAN in the 1st inning that resulted in a double play. Why do these mistakes seem to keep happening to Victor? He did however make an impressive catch later on in CF. (27:10) Patrick Corbin returned to the rotation after having his last start skipped. He improved upon his past few nightmarish starts, but it was still mediocre at best (6 IP, 4 ER). How will it go when he faces the Padres lineup this weekend? (31:45) We close with an update from AA Harrisburg on Darren Baker as we hear from "The Voice of the Senators" Terry Byrom.
