The Nats led 3-2 entering the 6th on Monday night, but a series of Washington pitchers allowed five Atlanta runs to put the game out of reach. Mark & Al sort through the 9-4 loss; which saw a lot of sloppy defense by the Nationals.
(05:45) Jake Irvin hit Ronald Acuna Jr. twice and the second one came in the top of the 6th. CJ Abrams then was the recipient of retaliation, but he kept his calm and went on to score a run.
(16:20) Daylen Lile homered in the 4th to briefly put the Nationals ahead 3-2. The most noteworthy moment of the homer was Cionel Perez catching the fly ball in his hat while standing in the bullpen.
(22:00) The tp of the 6th was the pivotal inning of the night and this is when Jake Irvin was lifted after just 68 pitches. Hear how Butera explained the (pre- determined) decision to pull Irvin while going through the Braves lineup for a 3rd time.
(34:00) Josiah Gray will be sent for additional testing and he is currently not throwing. Gray has not pitched the Nationals since April of 2024.
