Summary

The Nats shutout San Francisco 5-0 to earn a series split. Al & Mark wonder if this is the best pitched series in team history, as they only allowed three runs in four games. Joe Ross tossed eight shutout innings for the best outing of his career, while striking out nine. Is he about to turn a corner at age 28? (11:48) Kyle Schwarber hit 2 HRs as leadoff hitter, which effectively sealed the Giants fate early in the game. Have the Nationals figured out their leadoff situation? Plus, Josh Harrison had a four hit afternoon, is it time the quasi- slumping Trea Turner is given a much deserved day off, and how did Victor Robles bounce back after Saturday night's gaffe? (27:57) The Pirates come to town for a three game series. Mark updates the latest on Max Scherzer, who has a chance to start on Wednesday afternoon. This weekend saw no more capacity restrictions at Nationals Park. How was the energy in the crowd? (34:04) We celebrate an anniversary in franchise history you might not be aware of. From 2005, when Washington manager Frank Robinson was at odds with Angels skipper Mike Scioscia, resulting in both benches emptying. Plus, an update from Low-A Fredricksburg on their ace pitcher, Mitchell Parker. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
