Summary

The Nationals dropped the opener of a doubleheader 4-1 to the visiting Brewers. Mark & Al shine the light on Juan Soto's continuing slugging slump. His on-base and slugging percentage remain near mirror images of each other. Have we figured the source of these struggles? (12:50) Luis Garcia had an unusual early exit in the top of the 3rd due to cramping in his hamstring. Was the weather to blame for the mysterious injury? (14:48) Patrick Corbin's disappointing 2021 season continued as he yet again fell behind in the 1st inning. Mark explains why he has been getting hit hard as of late.
