Summary

The Nationals were no match for visiting Pittsburgh on Saturday in the twin bill. They lost the opener 6-3 and then were clobbered 16-1 in the nightcap. Al & Mark point out just how poorly the Nats have played at home this season despite their recent winning road trip. Chad Kuhl did not pitch well on Saturday evening and his future with the organization is respectfully brought into question. (11:30) The bullpen did not have a banner day and it was so bad that Lane Thomas had to pitch in Game 2. Will LHP Anthony Banda remain on the roster? We give the latest update on Sean Doolittle's rehab effort as well. (22:00) Riley Adams started behind the plate in Game 1 and came through with pair of hits and RBIs. Might we see him in the lineup as the team seeks to give Keibert Ruiz more rest. (28:15) Al points out how well Alex Call has performed in the lead-off spot during the 1st inning. What role will he grow into as the season develops? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
