Summary

The Nats beat visiting Colorado on Wednesday 6-1 behind Mitchell Parker's superb pitching. Al & Mark examine Parker's outing, where he only needed 83 pitches to make it through seven innings. Parker has been volatile this summer as his results have been all over the map, but this was a nice bounce back start. (09:00) Tanner Rainey finished the victory on the mound after making a rare 9th inning appearance. Rainey's ERA was at 7.77 on June 27th but now is at 5.40 just under two months later. (14:10) James Wood gathered three hits, but was tagged out during a botched double steal in the 5th. Wood has had at least three hits in a game four times since he was called up from Rochester in early July. (22:00) Dylan Crews had four hits on Wednesday in Rochester's win. The hosts compare his situation to the patient approach that worked out with James Wood for the organization. (24:20) Luis Garcia Jr. clubbed a crucial 3-run HR to extend Washington's advantage to 5-0. Garcia leads the team in OPS and is near CJ Abrams for most homers on the team (15 for Garcia/ 18 for Abrams). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
