Summary

The Nats were routed 11-2 by Arizona on a very unusual day in D.C. The U.S. Capitol was briefly evacuated as there was a miscommunication related to the pregame festivities at Nationals Park. Mark tells Al what he experienced first-hand. ****Audio courtesy of CBS 2 in NY*** (04:39) As for the game, Erick Fedde was rocked by the Diamondbacks and couldn't make it out of the 4th inning. He allowed seven runs, six of which were earned, on over 80 pitches. The infield defense behind him was lackluster and it begs the questions, when to call up Luis Garcia? (13:00) The tone for the day began with negative vibes as Sean Doolittle was placed on the IL due to an elbow sprain. How serious is this ailment? The "B" bullpen got the nod on Wednesday, including Sam Clay who was called up to replace Doolittle. (20:30) Adding to Wednesday's woes was Josh Bell exiting the game early due to left knee tightness. Could we see Riley Adams get more use at 1B if Bell ends up going to the IL?

0:58.4	A line drive two-run homer for Dalton Varsho.
1:01.6	And it gives the Diamondbacks a 6-0 lead.
