Summary

The Nats lost 5-2 to the Giants on Saturday afternoon. Al is solo hosting for the first time this season and opens with the news that Josh Bell exited the game early due to right hamstring tightness. This leads to a conversation about the scuffling offense, including the numbers for Alcides Escobar. (06:40) Cesar Hernandez was dropped from the lead-off spot down to the sixth in the order as Lane Thomas took over the top spot. Riley Adams got the start and homered in the afternoon and is surprisingly only the 5th National to homer so far this season. (12:55) Al discusses what he saw from Aaron Sanchez in his first Major League start of the season as he came short of tossing five innings. Will we see him make another start? (19:32) It was another impressive day for the bullpen as five relievers combined for only one run allowed in almost five frames. How confident can we be this continue?
