Summary

The Nats held off Baltimore 4-2 on a beautiful Friday night in D.C. Mark & Al evaluate Stephen Strasburg's first start since returning from the IL; with the largest crowd of the season on-hand. Did Strasburg look like his usual self? (9:21) Josh Bell had his best night yet as a Nat, as he had three hits and also made a crucial defensive play to save a run in the 6th. The hosts focus on the important moment and what led to Bell making the heads-up play. Al then resurfaces his reasons as to why he is staunchly opposed to the pitcher hitting 8th. (26:03) Brad Hand struggled again in the 9th inning as this has become a habit lately. Should Daniel Hudson replace him as the closer? Learn more about your ad choices.
