Summary

The Nats defeated Miami 4-1 on Friday night for their 66th win of the season. Mark & Al recap DJ Herz's solid outing, which dropped his ERA to 3.70. Herz only threw 87 pitches and struck out five Marlins in five innings of work. (13:30) Dylan Crews had an impactful opening inning with both his glove and his speed. Crews made a spectacular catch for the second consecutive game, beat out a routine grounder for an infield single, and stole two bases. (18:45) Luis Garcia Jr. hit his 16th homer of the season to give the Nationals a 3-1 edge. His OPS this year is .765, which exceeds last season's .689. (27:30) Washington only made two September call-ups (Darren Baker & Zach Brzykcy) and neither has seen a lot of playing time. Mark gives an update on Stone Garrett and why he likely won't be up in the majors this month. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
