The Nats lost 5-4 on Thursday night in Atlanta to open their eight game road trip. Mark (From Truist Park) & Al focus on the offense's inability to knock in any runner in scoring position. Washington went 0 for 9 in such instances and most of their runs came off solo homers.
(06:30) Luis Garcia Jr. and Daylen Lile teamed up to go deep three times against Braves starter Grant Holmes. Garcia ultimately fell a single short of the cycle and Lile hit two homers in the loss. Garcia is up to 23 homers, but questions remain about his status for the Trade Deadline.
(16:45) Jake Irvin returned from the IL and pitched into the 6th inning. Irvin was charged with five runs off of two homers in his first start in over two months.
(22:10) Riley Cornelio only needed nine pitches to retire the side in the bottom of the 8th.
(25:00) Mitchell Parker underwent season ending surgery to have an internal brace procedure.
(28:00) Sorting through different reports regarding Foster Griffin. Will he be traded or extended?
(34:00) Should the Nats keep Griffin and then make him a qualifying offer in the off-season? If he were to sign elsewhere as a Free Agent, then they will be offered a compensatory draft pick.
(37:00) Griffin is slated to pitch on Friday night in Atlanta as the Nationals are exactly at .500 through 110 games.
