Summary

The Nats lost again on their road trip, a 9-5 defeat on Saturday evening in Milwaukee. Mark (From Wisconsin) & Al explain how a game that seemed out of reach for awhile all of a sudden became a tied affair in the 8th inning. The Brewers struck back with a Grand Slam from Mark Canha in the bottom of the frame off of Kyle Finnegan. (04:15) Trevor Williams had an awful start and only made it 2 innings. Should Williams stay in the rotation for the final weeks? (23:00) Luis Garcia homered for the first time since late July off of Cy Young candidate Corbin Burnes. Garcia had a pair of hits on Saturday after entering with only 2 hits since returning to the Nationals on September 8th. (25:30) Joey Meneses had a trio of base knocks and Mark points just how clutch he can be in certain occasions. Meneses has 157 hits on the season, as many as Matt Olson, who leads MLB in HRs (52).
