Summary

The Nats lost to Miami 2-1 for a 7th consecutive defeat. Al & Mark recap an evening that didn't see much action until late as the offense mightily struggled for yet another game. During this losing streak, they are averaging just a pair of runs per game. (08:40) Maikel Franco thought he hit a game tying HR in the 9th, but instead ended up with just a single because he jogged down the line as the ball caromed off the wall. The hosts respond to this mental error in the final frame. (14:55) Erick Fedde was tagged with a loss despite a decent start. However, he did not make it through five innings and it leads to a discussion on what the future holds for him in the rotation. (20:41) Patrick Corbin will indeed stay in the rotation and will start Thursday afternoon vs. Miami. Mark contextualizes what is at stake for Corbin in this next outing. We then get an update on Stephen Strasburg and Joe Ross as they are still in West Palm Beach, Florida. Which of the pair will return to Washington first? Learn more about your ad choices.

0:02.4	Hey, Nats fans, welcome to the second homestand and one of the longest homestands of the season.
0:08.1	Walters is a great spot to meet up with friends and grab a bite to eat before any Nats game.
0:13.8	This week, Walters has added pulled pork croquettes to the menu, a great appetizer to share with friends over a bucket of old-time logger.
0:26.1	Soto is at third. Escobar at second, cruise at first. Two to one, Marlins leading the pitch.
0:32.9	Swing and a fly bowl to deep left center field. Back on it is the center fiel Sanchez to the warning track and the ball dies knocked down by the wind.
0:41.4	And he makes the catch for the out to retire the side.
0:45.2	And on another night, that might have been a grand slam for Yadiel.
0:49.5	Bender holds.
0:50.7	Robles, Rodgers the pitch, swung on, hit in the ear to left field.

1:06.1	2022, along with Nationals insider Mark Zuckerman of Massin Sports.com. I'm Al Galdi, host of the Al Galdi
1:12.8	podcast. Believe it or not, it did happen. The Nats did win two of three games at the reigning

1:25.0	You weren't dreaming. That actually took place. It's what has happened
1:29.1	since then that sticks in all of our minds right now. Seven consecutive losses now for the
1:35.5	Nats. The team is 0 and 7 since a 6 and 7 start to the season. And the latest loss,
1:41.7	a 2-1 loss to the Miami Marlins and Nationals Park on
