Summary

The Nats lost both games of their doubleheader to the Mets. Al opens with putting into perspective just how much the Nationals have struggled in the past month and a half. They entered July 2 games over .500 and now are 15 games below that threshold. (6:00) He then dives into the state of the bullpen, which has no anchor to it. Kyle Finnegan gave up the game sealing HR to Pete Alonso and Tanner Rainey also struggled in his brief return to the majors. Plus, an up and down outing for Erick Fedde, which resulted in a no decision for him. (15:29) The offense totaled five runs in 14 innings, highlighted by a three run rally in the top of the 7th in Game 2. Al discusses Juan Soto drawing five more walks on Thursday, Carter Kieboom's sneaky high OPS, and Josh Bell's late inning struggles at the plate. (23:40) Josiah Gray takes the mound Friday night against the Braves in D.C. and the Nationals have a chance to catch their breath next week as they have two days off.
