Summary

The Nats lost 4-1 to Milwaukee as the bid for a series sweep came up short. Mark & Al focus on the ten runners that Washington stranded as they went opposite of their instinct to score runs against Brewers starter Jason Alexander. Al was mildly incredulous at Juan Soto's 1st inning bat attempt. What did Davey Martinez have so to about it? (16:01) The Nationals used a tandem start on Sunday as Paolo Espino lasted until the 4th and then Evan Lee bridged the game into the late innings. Paolo took a hard luck loss as he only allowed 1 run in 3.2 IP. At one point in his start, his ERA dipped as low as 1.84! Will these pitchers be used again in Friday's doubleheader? (23:05) Cole Henry pitched on Saturday night in AAA and struggled as he allowed four runs in three innings. Mark lays out a possible timeline for him to be promoted to the Big Leagues later this season. (26:10) Longtime Washington nemesis Andrew McCutchen slugged a 9th inning HR. This leads to trivia.... who has the highest OPS ever vs. the Nats (minimum 100 plate appearances)? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
