Summary

Kyle Finnegan inherited a ninth inning one run lead, but after a trio of 9th inning Tampa homers, Tuesday became a 10-6 loss for the Nationals in D.C. Mark & Al discuss Davey Martinez's decision to keep his closer on the mound after surrendering back to back homers to lose the lead. (15:30) Chad Kuhl made his franchise debut on the mound and settled down after giving up four runs right away. Kuhl became a member of the rotation after Cade Cavalli was ruled out for the season. (19:00) In addition to the blown save, what makes the loss so tough to swallow was that the Nats squandered an evening where they collected sixteen hits, but only had three for extra bases. Five players had multiple hits, including a hat trick for both Lane Thomas and Alex Call. We then spend a few minutes focusing on what exactly Washington has in Lane Thomas, last year's offensive player of the year in the organization. Learn more about your ad choices.
