Summary

The Nationals routed the defending champs 11-2 in Atlanta as Josh Rogers picked up where he left off last season. Mark (covering on-site) & Al discuss the southpaw's performance, which included retiring ten in a row at one point. (08:42) The offense poured it on the Braves pitching staff, led by Maikel Franco who had four hits and 5 RBIs. Lane Thomas and Josh Bell also filled out the scorecard in the victory. Mark explains how Atlanta' pitching staff is in a tough spot as the series progresses. (22:40) The Washington Post surprised many with a report on Monday that the Lerner family is exploring the possibility of changing the franchise's ownership structure. Will they sell the team? What might be the reasons behind it? (31:53) How does Juan Soto's contractual situation fit into all of this with the potential of an ownership change? Al explains how this might actually work in Nats fans favor. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
