Summary

The Nats beat the Angels 7-3 to end a three game losing streak. Tim Shovers & Mark (live from Anaheim) recap Josiah Gray's outing as he lasted into the sixth and did not give up a hit against Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, or Anthony Rendon. Was it a good start or a decent start for Gray? (09:45) Rendon is 0 for 8 this series and is barely hitting over .200. Does he look uncomfortable at the plate? He did though make a vintage Rendon play in the field. (15:25) Maikel Franco had a big night as he knocked in 3 runs and his OPS is above .700. Mark gives his opinion on Franco's play so far this season at 3B. (18:20) Nelson Cruz struck out four times, but slugged his 3rd HR of the season and his 452nd of his career. Does he need to reach the magic number of 500 to make it into Cooperstown? (23:15) Trivia Time... What stadium did the Angels play in during their first season in 1961?
