Summary

The Nats hung on 6-4 in Texas to win a weekend series for the fourth time in five attempts. Al & Mark (Live From Globe Life Field) begin with praise for Jackson Tetreault who only allowed one run in the victory. The Nationals have had a quality start in six of the past seven games and have gone 4-3 in that stretch. (09:45) Tanner Rainey came in to get the Save as a 6-1 lead in the 9th was trimmed to a slight two run edge after Francisco Perez struggled mightily. Mark explains why Perez was tabbed to start the 9th despite not having appeared on the mound in over a week. (15:05) Juan Soto reached base five times on Sunday, four of which came via walk. Soto is now up to a MLB leading 61 walks on the season, 13 more than second place. (23:40) Nelson Cruz had a busy weekend and in the finale he had two hits and three RBIs. A Dallas based reporter tweeted out on Sunday that the controversial call from Saturday involving Cruz was mishandled by MLB. How could such a mistake occur? Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Nat Chat is brought to you by Walters trying to get a beer before or after a Nat's game and are
0:04.6	unable to get the bartender's attention. Well, Walters has solved that problem and more. Welcome
0:09.6	to Walters, where Walters' 24-self poor beer wall awaits you. Ask your server for a beer card and
0:16.8	hit the beer wall pay by the ounce and try a few suds before you settle on your favorite.
0:22.9	Follow us on Untapped to get notified of all the new beers we bring in.
0:29.5	To one delivery. Swinging to ground ball right side into the shift. It is Cesar Hernandez out in
0:34.9	shallow right field, the second baseman, the throw on to first.
0:39.4	Jackson Taitro has a 1-2-3 inning.
0:42.0	He's retired nine Rangers in a row.
0:45.4	We go to the seventh National Six, Texas nothing.
0:48.7	The kick and the pitch on the way, swing, and a ground ball up the middle.

1:09.6	podcast. Well, look, nothing is easy for the Nats in this
1:13.0	2022 season, but that doesn't mean that things can't get good for the Nats in this 2022 season.
1:18.9	And dare I say, the Nats starting pitching has gotten good. At least the starting pitching
1:25.2	has been good now in six of the team's last seven
1:29.2	games. This is a stunning run of quality starting pitching that the ants are in the midst of,
1:34.3	and the dance on Sunday afternoon for a second consecutive Sunday afternoon got an
1:39.1	impressive outing from Jackson Taitro. The man who isn't supposed to be at the major League level, all of a sudden has become a guy who every Sunday now gives the Nats a quality pitching performance. One run in six innings. Nats hold on and emphasize that phrase, hold on for a six-four victory at the Texas Rangers to take two of three games in the series.
2:01.9	Fourth time in five weekends, by the way, that the Nats win a weekend series. Go figure that.
