Summary

The Nationals swept Pittsburgh with a 3-1 victory Wednesday afternoon behind the Legend that is Paolo Espino for a fourth straight win. Al & Mark praise Espino for his five scoreless innings that resulted in his first career Major League win; fifteen years after he was drafted in the tenth round. Do we need to get the Paolo shirts printed ? Plus, another solid performance by the Bullpen, including a five out save by Brad Hand. (15:49) The Nats had another sluggish day at the plate except for the HRs by Yan Gomes & Josh Bell, but the team has won 5 straight games with Kyle Schwarber as the leadoff hitter. (20:40) Starlin Castro has been placed on the Restricted List. Mark explains what this means and its effect on the current roster. Why did Luis Garcia get the promotion as opposed to Carter Kieboom, who plays 3B? (26:18) A preview of a very pivotal four game series vs. the first place Mets. What will the rotation look like for the Saturday Doubleheader? (30:23) A very special interview with Bob Kendrick, President of the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. We primarily ask him about Josh Gibson, one of the greatest players ever, who spent a portion of his career playing for the Homestead Grays in Washington. Absolute must listen for any local Baseball fan. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
