Summary

This time the Nats offense delivered in the 1st inning and gave Jake Irvin a lead he would never relinquish in Monday evening's 5-1 victory at the Giants. Mark (Live from San Francisco) & Al dissect Irvin's first career MLB win; that saw him throw just over six scoreless frames. Where might Irvin fit in long term? (13:10) The lineup gave Irvin a 5-0 lead before he even took the rubber. CJ Abrams continued his hot stretch (10 for 18 on the road trip) with a 2 run single to gave Washington a big lead. They could have had a bigger inning, but hear about the unusual base running gaffe cand how three players all share the blame for the unnecessary out. (25:00) Jake Alu was called up from AAA Rochester as Victor Robles was placed on the 10-day IL due to back spasms. Alu's path is an odd one as he was drafted in the 24th round. Alu figures to be a utility man with the Nationals. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
