Summary

The Nats won 7-5 in San Diego to snap their four game losing streak. Mark & Al stayed up late to catch you up on what happened out West. Trea Turner had an immediate impact as he homered on the first pitch he saw after missing the entire Dodgers series due to a jammed finger. (6:30) Josh Bell had monster evening at the plate as he had three hits, including a late go-ahead homer. Mark points out how strong Bell's offensive numbers have been since mid May. (9:32) Alcides Escobar, filling in at second base, was a major contributor as he had three hits and 2 RBIs. What do the hosts think of him in the leadoff spot? (16:26) The bullpen did a masterful job as they pitched almost six innings of shutout baseball against a powerful lineup. Jon Lester however did not perform as well, as he exited in the bottom of the 4th. Is Lester's spot in the rotation on the line if he continues to have subpar starts? (26:03) Washington has not yet announced who will start on Tuesday as Patrick Corbin and Max Scherzer each had their next starts pushed back a day. Who will take the mound for Game 2 of this series?
