Summary

The Nats beat Miami 7-2 for their first three-game winning streak of the season. Al & Mark react to the good vibes surrounding the team at the moment and Patrick Corbin's stellar start. Why has he had such a "Jekyll & Hyde" season so far? (13:47) The offense had a good day and Josh Bell led the way with 4 RBIs, including a 3 run double off former National Ross Detwiler. Mark then points out the pace that Trea Turner is on so far offensively and how his defensive statistics are just as impressive. (20:56) Austin Voth struck out the side to end it in the 9th and was seen hitting 97 MPH on the radar gun. Have the Nationals unexpectedly stumbled onto a real asset in the bullpen? (27:22) Max Scherzer takes the mound Sunday as the Nats look for their first series sweep of the season. What to expect from Scherzer after he struggled on Tuesday?
