Summary

The Nats lost 2-1 in Oakland on Friday evening in 10 innings of play. Mark (Live from Oakland Coliseum) & Al begin by noting that this is the final season in this particular stadium as the team will temporarily relocate to Sacramento next year, before ultimately settling in Las Vegas. (04:40) Jake Irvin only allowed a solo homer in 6 IP on just 74 pitches for his best start of the season thus far. (08:00) Jesse Winker went 4 for 4 and was the lone source of offense as he clubbed a solo homer to tie up the game in the top of the 9th. Winker was signed to a minor league deal, but so far has been the team's best outfielder. (15:00) Trey Lipscomb made a base running error to begin the top of the 10th thus nullifying the ghost runner. (21:30) Keibert Ruiz missed another game due to illness (flu like symptoms) as Riley Adams starting behind the plate on Friday night. Drew Millas was called up on for Wednesday in San Francisco, but was sent back down afterwards because it was originally thought that Ruiz would be ready for the opener in Oakland. (24:00) Prior to the game Davey Martinez gave an update on Josiah Gray, that he has full range of motion and will start rehabbing soon. Mark adds who who might possibly take Gray's spot in the rotation when the Nationals play at Dodger Stadium in a few days. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:00.0	Make Walters your spot not only before and after every game at Nationals Park,
0:05.1	but Walters also is right by Audi Field, and D.C. United, the Washington Spirit,
0:10.5	and the D.C. defenders are all in season.
0:16.3	Benez ready. And the pitch. Swinging a long drive to right center field. This is deep. Butler back to the warning track at the wall and it is God goodbye.
0:26.6	A game-tying leadoff home run for Jesse Winker. And this game is tied here at the top of the ninth inning.
0:33.6	He deals. Swain a little looper shallow left that's going to fall for a hit.
0:39.2	Schumann coming around third. The throw-in from Winker is not going to be in time and the A's
0:44.1	win in extra innings two to one. They're going to mob Lawrence Butler behind the mound as he's
0:49.7	delivered the game-winning single in the last of the 10, scoring the rookie Schumann in his big league
0:54.6	debut with the winning run.

1:24.7	I'm Al Galdi, host of the Al Galdi podcast. The final score of game one of a three game series for
1:29.4	the Nats at the Oakland days was A's 2, Nats won in 10 innings. But you also could say that the final
1:35.4	score was Lawrence Butler 2, Jesse Winker won in 10 innings, because Butler drove in each of
1:41.7	Oakland's two runs. And Winker in so many ways was the Nats offense in this game.
1:47.0	Jesse Winker was tremendous.
1:48.5	Four for four, big solo homer, a double, and two singles.
1:52.5	But Trey Lipscomb committed a bit of a base running blunder in the top of the 10th.
