The Nats' losing steak is now up a to season worst seven games after getting shutout 5-0 in Philadelphia on Tuesday night. Mark (From Philly) & Al immediately address the sorry state of affairs as just one week ago they were two games above .500 and very much in the wildcard hunt.
(06:30) Prior to the game James Wood was placed on the 10-Day IL due to a left oblique strain. Wood exited Monday's game shortly after he injured his side on a swing in the top of the 6th.
(11:00) The offense was 0 for 11 w/ runners in scoring position in the loss and collectively on this road trip they are a stunningly bad 3 for 45.
(14:00) Any chance that CJ Abrams becomes the leadoff hitter while Wood is on the IL? Dylan Crews was first in the order in Tuesday night's defeat.
(17:00) Andrew Pinckney had a hectic Tuesday as he spent the morning riding the bus to Scranton with his Rochester teammates and ended it as a member of the Washington Nationals inside the visitor's clubhouse in Philadelphia. Pinckney was available off the bench after arriving in the middle of the 2nd inning and he occupied the roster spot vacated by Wood.
(21:00) Carson Palmquist's brief appearance as the Opener did not go well as he allowed one run after just facing four batters. Palmquist has seen more action in that role, but it is not going well.
(23:00) Keep or cut Zack Littell and/or Miles Mikolas for the final two months of the season?
(26:00) Putting in perspective how many obstacles are facing the organization right now.
