Summary

The Nats beat the Dodgers 4-1 for their second consecutive win on the road trip. Mark (Live from LA) and Al discuss the bullpen's excellent performance as they combined for five scoreless frames. Paolo Espino pitched well, but only lasted 54 pitches before being removed by Davey Martinez. Which members of the bullpen might be traded before next week's deadline? (15:12) Juan Soto was the center of attention as the Los Angeles media descended upon him during pregame. He responded with two hits and a walk, including a RBI triple in the 5th inning where Washington scored all of its runs. Mark relays what the vibe was like as Soto visited Dodger Stadium one week after winning the HR Derby. (27:15) Victor Robles hit lead-off for the first time all season coming off a series where he drew many headlines in Arizona. What happened to Luis Garcia getting chances in the 1 spot? (33:45) It has been one year since the Nationals were swept in Baltimore to extend their losing streak to four games. It became clear after this series that the Nats would be sellers at the upcoming trade deadline. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
