Summary

The Nats lost 4-3 in Miami in ten innings despite briefly holding the lead in the 7th. Mark & Al recap the stud pitching match-up between Josiah Gray & Edward Cabrera, both of which are top 100 prospects per MLB Pipeline. Gray was solid yet again for Washington, as he has been so far in all five starts since the trade. (10:33) Keibert Ruiz has hit four homers in his past two games for AAA Rochester. Will the promotion of Cade Cavalli to Rochester delay Ruiz getting called up to Washington? (20:11) Carter Kieboom had a rough end of the game on Wednesday evening as he made a poor defensive play in the 9th and was surprisingly thrown out at home in the 10th. Is it too early to discuss whether or not the Nationals should try him at a new position? (28:53) Lane Thomas was hitting leadoff and playing CF for the fourth consecutive game. What exactly is happening in CF, as it relates to Victor Robles? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
