The Nats staged an impressive comeback in Tuesday night's 8-7 win in extras.  Mark (From Cincinnati) & Al discuss how Washington found themselves in an early 5-0 hole, before the offense & bullpen teamed up to rally against the Reds. They are just one game below .500 through 43 games played.

(05:45) Daylen "The Louisville Slugger" Lile hit his 3rd homer in the past two games in the top of the 10th.  Lile had a very strong reaction after he went deep and shared the moment with family, friends, and of course teammates.

(08:30) Curtis Mead played three different infield positions and is the first National to do this since.... Gerardo Parra!

(13:30) The offense is 2nd in runs scored across MLB this season.

(17:40) Five relievers combined  to only allow one run in seven frames.  The one run the Reds scored off of the 'pen came with a ghost runner in the bottom of the 10th.  Mitchell Parker bounced back from Saturday's poor performance in Miami by tossing three scoreless innings in immediate relief of Jake Irvin.

(21:35) The Nats caught a big break in the 10th when fan interference was ruled on a potential game tying homer.

(22:20) Jake Irvin had a bad start and lasted just three innings.  Irvin's ERA is a staggering 5.91 and his spot in the rotation is officially in jeopardy.

(27:30) TGIF - Foster Griffin will take the mound on Thursday afternoon as the team is one win away from reaching .500 in mid-May.

(30:00) Josh Whetzel, the Voice of the Rochester Red Wings, gives an update from AAA.
