Summary

The division leading Nationals topped Miami 3-1 to complete the weekend sweep and return to .500. Al & Mark provide many accolades to Max Scherzer, who authored a dominant performance on the same day that his wife was due to give birth, adding to his long list of legendary outings in Washington. (14:58) Ryan Zimmerman continued his excellent season so far with a decisive 3-run HR in the 3rd. Does Zim have more left to his career than we might have thought a few months back? (20:30) Al's interest was piqued by seeing Victor Robles return to the leadoff spot. Will we see this again or just a product of having a right handed heavy lineup? (27:22) Mark assesses the chances that Juan Soto could be activated for Tuesday night's game vs. slumping Atlanta. Finally, an update on the organization's Minor League situation as rosters will be announced this week (31:26). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
