Episode Details

The Nats were walloped by the Braves16-4 as Patrick Corbin allowed 9 hits before the 3rd inning concluded. Mark (Live from Atlanta) & Al recap the rout and begin by dissecting the "strange" decision to have Dee Strange-Gordon take the mound in the 8th during garbage time. Is it unbecoming to have a position player throwing 58 MPH in a regular season game?

(15:42) The Nationals comically botched a rundown and Victor Robles allowed a ball underneath his glove and to the wall. It was the first game so far this season that the team has committed any errors.

(22:30) Juan Soto hit a tape measure HR (451 feet) for the 100th of his career. Soto reached that milestone less than four years after his MLB debut. A Washington fan ended up with the ball and was able to meet Soto after the game.
