Summary

The Nats were routed 11-3 in Sunday's rubber match as the bullpen was unable to keep it close against Philadelphia's powerful lineup. Mark & Al lay out how poorly the 'pen pitched, evidenced by the fact that Philly led 2-1 until Andres Machado allowed a 3 run HR vs. Kyle Schwarber in the top of the 6th. Will there be some roster maneuvering by Tuesday? (10:20) Trevor Williams' start ended on a sour note as the runners that came across on the "SchwarBomb" were charged to his stat line. Williams' has struggled as of late and his current ERA is at 4.15. (20:00) The offense had another quiet game and the majority of runs did not come until Ildemaro Vargas' 2 run HR in the 9th. Joey Meneses meanwhile tripled for the first time this year and now has a team high 71 hits on the season (Lane Thomas 2nd place with 63 hits). (24:35) Mark adds more context to the Stephen Strasburg situation; including details on why there is not disability insurance on the massive contract. Learn more about your ad choices.
