Summary

The Nats cough up a late lead and fall 5-2 in extras to the Phillies. Mark & Al analyze Brad Hand's second blown save in less than a week, which led to the first team meeting of the season. What will come from the message Davey Martinez delivered to the club postgame? Lost in the shuffle of the loss is the fact that Jon Lester pitched well, and has had a quality starts each time out this season. (14:10) The offensive struggles continued as Washington was 1 for 13 with RISP, stranding 12 men overall. What can be done to turn the tide? Should Turner remain hitting 2nd as opposed to leadoff? On the bright side, Starlin Castro has a ten game hitting streak, and had four hits on Wednesday. Where should he hit in the order while he's batting .300? (22:09) Paolo Espino was sent down to AAA to make room for Wander Suero. The hosts tip their caps to Paolo for his flawless performance out of the bullpen. Finally, a preview of Patrick Corbin's Thursday start to try and avoid the sweep. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
