Summary

The Nationals snapped their seven game losing streak with a 12-6 victory over Toronto. Mark & Al look Riley Adams who dominated his former organization with three hits, including a HR. As Adams has shown promise at the plate, it provides an opportunity to handicap what the catcher situation is between Adams, Barrera, and Keibert Ruiz. (8:57) Yadiel Hernandez homered to open the scoring. Where might he fit in for the Nats in 2022? (17:17) Luis Garcia made an excellent play in the field, but also committed an 8th inning error at a crucial time. Do we know if the organization has decided on whether they want him to be a 2B or shortstop? (22:56) Erick Fedde earned the win, but was not particularly sharp. What has led to his recent regression? (37:39) There was an update on Joe Ross' elbow Tuesday. Surgery isn't called for now, but the hosts explain why the possibility still remains down the road. (42:20) Josiah Gray is scheduled to start Wednesday vs. the Blue Jays and their powerful lineup. Plus, Al updates the latest Baseball America prospect rankings. Learn more about your ad choices.
