Summary

The Nats beat up on the Astros 13-6 to snap their eleven game win streak. Al & Mark focus on the offense that piled up fourteen hits, including big nights from Nelson Cruz and Yadiel Hernandez. Is Nelson Cruz showing signs that he is overcoming his early season slump? (20:11) Maikel Franco doubled and homered in the victory and shares the team lead in RBIs. Is he becoming a potential trade option for the franchise later this summer? (30:15) Erick Fedde escaped early trouble and labored his way to 4 IP on 82 pitches. The hosts look at where Fedde's status in the rotation stands as Stephen Strasburg and Joe Ross hope to be back with the team later this summer. (41:40) A preview of Sunday's intriguing pitching matchup between Justin Verlander and Patrick Corbin. Verlander is coming off a near no-hit bid in his last outing. Learn more about your ad choices.
