Summary

The Nats beat the Tigers 6-4 for their 20th victory of the season to take the series. Mark & Al recount the unusual game that saw Washington collect 18 hits and draw 0 walks in the process. Riley Adams homered and came a triple shy of the cycle in a rare start behind the plate. (13:20) Ildemaro Vargas went deep while giving CJ Abrams a day off at short stop. He is hitting .333 in limited playing that time this season. Trade chip? Joey Meneses had 3 three as well on Sunday and his average up to .296. (17:00) Josiah Gray earned the "Curly W" despite issuing six walks in five innings of work. Gray did though only allow one Detroit run. (24:30) Kyle Finnegan was utilized in an unsual way on Sunday as he inherited a 6th inning jam. Mark explains all that went into Davey's decision to bring Finnegan in earlier than usual.
