Summary

The Nats lost 11-4 in Arizona as Joe Ross had his second worst outing of the season. Mark & Tim recap the Saturday evening as Ross ran into trouble right away and the Nationals couldn't take advantage of facing journeyman Seth Frankoff. (6:08) Juan Soto had 2 hits and 2 RBIs, which has been a rarity for him in May. Could a game like this break him out of his "slump"? Plus, should Kyle Schwarber remain his protection in the lineup? (17:19) Stephen Strasburg is starting in AAA Sunday. How close is he to returning to Washington? Does this mean that Erick Fedde is auditioning to keep his spot in the rotation or does it belong to Joe Ross regardless? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
