Summary

The Nats edged the Cubs 4-3 on a very active Wednesday in Chicago. Mark & Al analyze the controversial rule that led to Trea Turner being called out yet again for running inside the baseline. Davey Martinez, just like Game 6 in Houston, adamantly defended Turner and was ejected for doing his best impression of Lou Piniella.  (11:44) Juan Soto hit his first homer in weeks, however he was thrown out for trying to steal second base at a crucial point in the 9th inning. Will this 3 hit game be the turning point for Soto in 2021? (23:38) A recap of Max Scherzer's start that only lasted five innings. He did have some notable comments afterwards in regards to the pregame news that Erick Fedde & Tanner Rainey have been placed on the IL due to COVID-19 protocols.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Looking to get the inning started here in the seventh, the pitch.

1:20.6

Davy Martinez is ejected and he is about sick of that rule.

1:24.6

He's going to pick the base out a la Lu Penel and he slams it down. He slams the base and
