Summary

The Nats lost the series opener to the visiting Rays 6-2 as the offense only mustered four hits. Al & Mark begin with the struggling lineup and wonder... is that what to mostly expect all season? Washington has only totaled nine runs in four games so far. (12:20) Trevor Williams' Nationals debut resulted in a loss as he gave up four runs in his outing. Adding to the bad fortune of the evening, runner interference yet again did not go the franchise's way. (24:00) Ildemaro Vargas got the nod to play LF on Monday night and Mark explains what went into the decision. When to expect Stone Garrett in the lineup? (27:20) Answering a listener email in relation to the new Pitch Clock. Send in your questions to natschatpodcast@gmail.com. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
