Summary

The Nats were shutout by the Mets 5-0 to begin the season at 0-3 for the first time in over a decade. Mark & Al discuss the struggling offense which has only scored four games in this series so far. (10:53) Another busy night for the bullpen as Joan Adon's outing fell apart in the top of the 5th when he allowed a Grand Slam to Pete Alonso. The hits then continued for the 'pen as Mason Thompson exited the game after just three pitches due a right biceps issue. (20:02) The bright spot so far this year for the Nationals has been their excellent defensive play, including by Victor Robles. We wrap-up with a preview of Sunday's finale against New York as Erick Fedde takes the mound, plus an update on Anibal Sanchez's sore neck. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	That chat is brought to you by Walters.
0:02.7	Walters Streetery lives and is ready to host all Nats fans for the entirety of the 2022 season.
0:09.7	Walters would like to thank everyone for their assistance in helping to keep this vital part of Walters' business around.
0:16.2	Now let's get into the more important stuff and play ball.
0:19.2	If you're looking for the best sports bar in Navy Yard,
0:22.0	make sure you walk on over to Walters.
0:28.3	The kick in the pitch,

0:55.0	MadisonSports.com. I'm Al-Galdi, host of the Al-Galdi podcast. The Nationals are 0-3 for the first
1:02.1	time since 2009. Now, 0-3 isn't like that much of a disaster in a 162 game season, but
1:09.2	that's pretty remarkable. This is territory in which the Nats have not

1:19.3	The Nats, starting pitcher for a third time in three games this season, doesn't even last for
1:23.7	five innings. Davy Martinez for a third time in three games this season has to use
1:28.3	five relievers and one of them may have suffered serious injury. And the Nats offense right now just
1:34.3	is not doing much a total of four runs in three games. You know, Mark, I was thinking about it.
1:40.0	The Nats offense came alive toward the end of the exhibition season, but I guess that didn't mean a whole lot,
