Summary

The Nats were ahead 3-0, but the Padres came back in the middle innings for a 4-3 triumph over Washington. Mark (From Petco Park) & Al discuss Trevor Williams' outing, as the veteran allowed four San Diego runs and took the loss. (09:35) San Diego's go-ahead run came on a RBI groundout where Nathaniel Lowe took the easy out at 1B instead of throwing home for a force out. Mark explains what led to Lowe's decision to not throw to the plate in the bottom of the 6th. (15:25) The offense went just 1 for 9 with RISP in the loss. James Wood struck out three times and is 5th in the Majors in that category this season. (17:40) Jacob Young stole just his 7th base of the year in 15 attempts. Why has he been so inefficient at swiping bags? (24:00) Keibert Ruiz was placed on 10-day IL due to a head contusion that was suffered from an errant foul ball on Monday night. Drew Millas has been recalled from AAA-Rochester. (28:20) Travis Sykora continued his dominant stretch at High-A Wilmington with 8Ks on Tuesday evening. Hear about the franchise's top pitching prospect, who was taken in the 3rd round in 2023.
