The Nats lost 4-1 on Tuesday evening to even the series as the Giants scored two runs in the 1st inning and never looked back. Al & Mark (Live from San Francisco) begin with CJ Abrams, who struggled in the field and committed a 1st inning error. He had a rough night at the plate as well as he went 0 for 4 with a pair of K's. (06:15) Jake Alu did not have a memorable MLB debut after going 0 for 4 with 3 strikeouts. Alu got the start in LF; a position that has seen musical chairs as of late. (13:45) Patrick Corbin threw a quality start, but most importantly was able to stay in the game after surviving a come-backer line drive; which narrowly avoided hitting him directly in the face. Mark explains what he saw during that moment and Corbin's demeanor after the game. Corbin not only stayed in the game, but recorded four more outs. (21:00) Mason Thompson allowed a run and did not look sharp in the process. Thompson has allowed five runs in four May outings. (29:45) Jackson Rutledge, the Nationals 1st Round pick from 2019, has pitched well so far this with AA Harrisburg. Could he get called up this year or will he likely be sent to Rochester?

Jake Irvin in his 2nd big league start SHOVED once again for the Washington Nationals, beating the San Francisco Giants by a score of 5-1. Irvin went 6 1/3rd with 4 hits, and looked like a season pro. Ryan breaks down the game, which also had some questionable decision making by 3B coach Gary DiSarcina. But most importantly, Jake Irvin is proving to us that he belongs in the rotation, and he=is stuff plays in the big leagues. Ryan then turns the attention to the defense, as this Nats team on paper is just a much better product on paper, particularly the defense. What has been the biggest difference so far in the infield? Dominic Smith, your time has come... Lastly Ryan previews Patrick Corbin on the mound, and talks about what he needs to see from the lefty to get a win tonight for the good guys.  Follow Ryan Clary on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ryanclary11 Follow Locked On Nationals on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LO_Nationals Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

This time the Nats offense delivered in the 1st inning and gave Jake Irvin a lead he would never relinquish in Monday evening's 5-1 victory at the Giants. Mark (Live from San Francisco) & Al dissect Irvin's first career MLB win; that saw him throw just over six scoreless frames. Where might Irvin fit in long term? (13:10) The lineup gave Irvin a 5-0 lead before he even took the rubber. CJ Abrams continued his hot stretch (10 for 18 on the road trip) with a 2 run single to gave Washington a big lead. They could have had a bigger inning, but hear about the unusual base running gaffe cand how three players all share the blame for the unnecessary out. (25:00) Jake Alu was called up from AAA Rochester as Victor Robles was placed on the 10-day IL due to back spasms. Alu's path is an odd one as he was drafted in the 24th round. Alu figures to be a utility man with the Nationals. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Nats lost 8-7 in heartbreaking fashion in Arizona as the 9th inning saw the lead change hands multiple times. Al & Mark (Live from Phoenix) do their best to sort through everything, but begin with a recap of MacKenzie Gore's outing. Gore allowed a pair of runs in six innings, but struck out nine in the process. (09:20) The Nationals staged a furious five run rally in the top of the 9th; capped by Lane Thomas' 2 run HR to temporarily give Washington the lead. This all began when Keibert Ruiz hit a leadoff homer to cut the deficit to 6-3. The lead was a brief one as Kyle Finnegan could not hang onto it and walked in the decisive Arizona run. (16:15) Jeimer Candelario was hospitalized on Friday evening due to dehydration and Victor Robles exited the game early on Saturday night due a tweaked back. Mark gives a first hand account on where both players stand entering Sunday's series finale. (19:40) The bullpen did not have a particularly good evening, but Thad Ward did have a good outing. Mason Thompson struggled on the mound, but didn't have stellar defense behind him. This leads to an explanation of the bizarre Diamondback HR that tied the game in the bottom of the 9th. Should Finnegan remain as the team's closer? (29:00) Closing thoughts that encompass what all the positives are to look for in the difficult defeat. (Hint: MacKenzie Gore's development).

The Nats lost 3-1 in Arizona to open up their two city/ six game road trip. Mark (Live from Phoenix) & Al discuss how the offense was no match for Diamondbacks starter Merrill Kelly. The lineup only mustered four hits and Luis Garcia had two of them (including a Solo HR). (06:15) Keibert Ruiz is mired in a slump as he struck out three times and has not yet had a hit in May. Joey Meneses went 0 for 4 and his average has dropped .267. (12:45) Josiah Gray had a so-so outing as he allowed three runs in five innings. Gray threw 92 pitches and struck out six D-Backs in the process. His ERA now currently sits at 3.03. (17:00) Hunter Harvey had the evening off after pitching for three consecutive days.

Bobby Blanco from MASN on the Nats series win vs the Cubs and under two hour games

The Washington Nationals are RED HOT after taking 3 of 4 from the stacked Chicago Cubs, with stellar performances from Alex Call, Patrick Corbin, and of course some help with the bats. Alex Call hits his first career walk-off homerun to beat the Cubs in the 9th, so we of course discuss that. Also, we are starting to see 2019 Patrick Corbin and you may think it's a joke, but you'll want to hear these numbers that support that. Ryan gets into the 3 main reasons as to why this Nationals team has turned it around, and most importantly it has to do with key pitching from the young studs. Lastly we head out west as we have a big series against the Arizona Diamondbacks, led by Merrill Kelly on the bump tonight against Josiah Gray.  Follow Ryan Clary on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Ryanclary11 Follow Locked On Nationals on Twitter: https://twitter.com/LO_Nationals Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!

Thursday was an exciting day for the Nationals for many reasons, but with the most important being Alex Call's Walk-off HR to lead-off the 9th inning and give them a 4-3 victory over the Cubs. Al & Tim run through all the positives which include the game finishing under two hours, the Nats winning a series, and a 9-7 stretch in the past 16 games. (06:10) Kyle Finnegan came through with an incredible escape in the top of the 9th after putting the first two hitters in scoring position. Davey Martinez showed trust in his closer by not calling for an intentional walk against the heart of the order and was promptly rewarded for it. (12:30) Patrick Corbin was phenomenal on Thursday for 7 of the 7+ IP that he was on the mound. Corbin threw just 80 pitches and only tossed 56 pitches through five innings. The only time he ran into trouble was when facing the middle of the Cubs order in the top of the 8th. (17:30) Lane Thomas gave Washington the early lead with a 3 Run HR in the 2nd and he appropriately donned the "Home Run Wig". It was extra clutch because it was the only occasion that the Nats had any runners in scoring position. (26:20) Nationals Park drew an announced crowd of 18K+ on Thursday afternoon and the attendance is in the middle of the pack amongst MLB teams. Tim gives some additional background and context to the Navy Yard neighborhood for our listeners that have never been to a game. (32:30) Terry Byrom, the Voice of the Harrisburg Senators, gives an update from the AA level. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Nats defeated the Cubs 2-1 on an evening where Jake Irvin made his Major League debut on the mound. Mark & Al analyze the right hander's first Big League start, which had an inauspicious beginning as he hit Nico Hoerner with the first pitch he threw. Washington is 3-3 on this home stand with the rubber match on Thursday afternoon. (10:00) The bullpen was outstanding as they combined for nearly five scoreless innings. Andres Machado, just promoted from Rochester, came through with clutch outs in the middle frames. Hunter Harvey yet again was extremely impressive as well. (16:15) The Nationals turned multiple double plays on Wednesday and did so at crucial moments. The defense has been much better this year compared to last season; evidenced by the fact that Luis Garcia has not yet committed an error. (19:15) CJ Abrams had the game winning hit and now leads the team with 15 RBIs through 30 games. Abrams has been producing the past few weeks while hitting in the bottom of the order. (26:10) Ildemaro Vargas returned after last month's shoulder injury. Jeter Downs was sent down to make room for Vargas, but only appeared in one game for three+ weeks.

The Nats beat the Cubs 4-1 on Tuesday night as the offense broke the tie open in the 7th with a trio of runs. Al & Mark start though by breaking down the curious continued calls for bunting; highlighted by Alex Call's 5th inning bunt that blew up on Washington. This conversation is the definition of "Inside Baseball". (15:30) The bottom of the order came through with five hits between Victor Robles and CJ Abrams. Robles surprisingly leads the team with a .732 OPS. (18:00) Trevor Williams pitched well and is the only member of the rotation who has lasted at least five innings per start. Was this his best outing of the year? (30:20) Jake Irvin (RHP) will start Wednesday night for the Nationals as he is getting called up for AAA Rochester to make his Major League debut.

The Nats ended April on a high note as they handled the Pirates 7-2 following a lengthy rain delay. Mark & Al begin with praise for Josiah Gray who only allowed one run in six innings. Gray closes out the opening month with a ERA at 2.67 and has thrown five consecutive solid starts. (14:00) The offense came alive early in the game as it was a quickly 5-0 lead.

Joey Meneses did not have a lot of power in April, but he finishes the month with a .286 average and a RBI single on Sunday.
