Summary

The Nats edged Tampa Bay 4-3 for a third consecutive win. Al & Mark somehow find a new way to analyze Kyle Schwarber's recent run as he now has homered 16 TIMES IN THE LAST 18 GAMES. Has he entered the NL MVP Race? Listen for what Al explains by "Air Matters" as it relates to the D.C. summer. (14:31) Juan Soto & Victor Robles each had significant homers on Tuesday night. It was Soto's first homer at Nationals Park this year and Robles went yard for the first time all season. Why was Robles given a key after the game? (22:01) Joe Ross had a solid outing for the third time in four starts and his June ERA is sub two. The hosts tip their caps to Ross for the month he has had, which includes pitching into the later innings. (26:22) Tanner Rainey becomes the latest bullpen pitcher to go on the 10 day IL. What is Davey Martinez going to do for these next few weeks as there are zero off days until the All Star Break? How much can he ride Brad Hand? (37:17) Listener submitted email asking about Kyle Schwarber's defensive metrics for this season. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
