Summary

The Nationals beat the Marlins 2-1 in extras as Kyle Schwarber hit a lead-off 2 run HR in the 10th (Yes, you read that last part correctly). Al & Mark react to the victory which prior to extra innings saw yet another anemic game for the Washington offense. Why was Ryan Zimmerman not given at least one at bat in this game? (12:42) Victor Robles was caught stealing again and the Nats difficulties on the bases continue. Does the team simply need to stop attempted steals unless it's Trea Turner? (15:33) Jon Lester threw five scoreless frames in his franchise debut. The hosts give their thoughts on what they saw from the veteran southpaw on Friday night. While breaking down the pitching, they dare ask... is the bullpen good? (23:36) (27:06) Patrick Corbin gets the nod Saturday despite his terrible start to the season. Is his place in the rotation on the line? Plus, Mark updates the injury situations for both Juan Soto & Stephen Strasburg.

After the Nats game Saturday, be sure to head to Walters to hang out and watch the Kentucky Derby. Lester's 2-2 struck him out swinging with a fastball. He wanted it in, left it over the plate, and John Lester gets his first strikeout in the nationals uniform. Outfield plays Schwabler to pull, big gap to left center. Here's the pitch. Swinging a long drive, right center field. Back on this one is Harrison. Looking up, and this one is gone.

Homer for a second time in three Friday nights. For so much of the night, it was a frustrating night,

send everyone home happy, and another bomb from all Schwerby, a Schwerbaum, ends up giving

the nationals a needed win. This is one of those games, Al, where if they don't win it,

if he doesn't come through like that,

they are heading home. Everybody's heading home incredibly frustrated because they spent nine

not to score a run. They were hitting into double plays. They were running into outs. They had
