Summary

The Nationals defeated the Reds 5-3 in a game that took two days to complete due to inclement weather on Wednesday evening. Al & Mark recap the victory where Joe Ross helped himself with his arm, bat, and glove in the first four innings. Will this keep him in the rotation when Erick Fedde returns to the roster? (4:32) The bullpen needed five men to seal the deal on Thursday afternoon. Were the Nats expecting more than two innings from Austin Voth? They then dissect the 8th inning where Tanner Rainey struggled and put the game in doubt. (13:34) Brad Hand had a good outing and seems to have moved off his recent skid. Has he regained the trust of the fans? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
