Summary

James Wood announced prior to the game that will be in this year's Home Run Derby field and then followed it up with a dominant performance. Al examines Wood's 5 hit night in the Nats 9-7 win over Detroit; which sealed a second straight series. Wood homered for the 23rd time this season and singled four times. (06:00) The offense exploded with 15 hits and three drawn walks. Paul DeJong capped the 5-run 1st inning with a 3-run shot, his first with the franchise. (08:10) Jake Irvin struggled again in the top of the 1st where he allowed three runs. Irvin then bounced back to throw five straight scoreless frames. (10:45) Al takes notice to eyebrow raising Davey Martinez's postgame comments. **(15:15) Tim discusses LSU Kade Anderson's with LSU legend Ben McDonald. The Nats own the top pick in the July 13th MLB Draft and Anderson is considered by many to be the likeliest choice.
