Summary

The Nats lost 6-1 at the Dodgers on Memorial Day evening. Mark (Live from Dodger Stadium) & Al put in perspective where the franchise stands after 54 games, the one-third point of the season. They are currently on pace for 69 victories; which would eclipse preseason expectations. (06:00) Trevor Williams had an unusual pitching line as all six LA runs scored against him were considered unearned due to CJ Abrams botching a double play in the 5th inning. Williams unraveled after the error and it occurred while he was facing the Dodgers order for the 3rd time. (13:40) Corey Dickerson was thrown out at home after Abrams' RBI single and it was not particularly close. Should Gary DiSarcina have sent him? Lane Thomas singled to extend his hitting streak to 14 games and he has reached base in 25 straight games. (17:50) An update on Victor Robles who has been on the IL for three weeks due to what was originally labeled "back spasms". Mark relays what he observed from Robles in the clubhouse on Monday. (23:40) Jake Irvin takes the mound on Tuesday night and he has had a stretch of unimpressive performances. Is his starting rotation job on the line based upon this outing?
