Summary

The Nats lost in 2-1 to the Phillies in 10 innings, but the focus of Saturday came Pregame as Ryan Zimmerman's #11 was retired. Mark & Al applaud the ceremony as it seemed to hit all right notes, aided by perfect weather and sell-out crowd in Washington D.C. (20:35) Josiah Gray threw six scoreless frames as he in a pitcher's duel with Aaron Nola. Gray was well rested after he missed his Monday start due to rain. It is notable that this was the first time Gray pitched in front of a large crowd at Nationals Park since he was dealt here. (31:20) Juan Soto was thrown out trying to steal to end the 1st inning, which was curious because it came with red-hot Josh Bell up to bat. Could this be related to being called out on Friday for not hustling down the line? (37:02) Luis Garcia committed another error on Saturday, as the experiment of him playing shortstop continues.

1:02.6	I'm Al-Galdi, host of the Al-Galdi podcast. Saturday was a good day in so many ways for the
1:09.3	Nats. The weather was perfect. The pregame ceremony in which
1:13.7	Ryan Zimmerman's number 11 was retired was so well done and so well received. We had the Nats' largest
1:19.6	crowd of the season at Nationals Park, 42,730. We had a good outing from Josiah Gray, six scoreless innings. We in the bottom of the
1:29.2	ninth had maybe the moment of the season for the Nats so far. Lane Thomas pinched two out,
1:34.6	opposite field, RBI single to right off former Nats closer Brad Hand to tie the game at one.
