Wiemer Goes Deep Again in Opening Series Win

The Nats beat the Cubs 6-3 on Sunday afternoon to take the series in Chicago.  Mark (From Wrigley Field) & Al have a lot of praise for Joey Wiemer, who is having a dream start to the season.  Wiemer has homered in both games he has played so far and has reached base in all eight plate appearances. Wiemer bounced around a bit th roster transactions this offseason, but ultimately Washington claimed him off of waivers in early January.

(07:00) CJ Abrams was back in the lineup on Sunday after missing the previous game due a death in the family.

(12:05) This is the first series victory to to start the season since.... 2018!

(16:10) Keibert Ruiz showed rare power with a 2-run HR in the 8th for his first homer since the opening weekend of last season.

(18:20) Jake Irvin earned the victory in his season debut by lasting five innings. Irvin struck out seven Cubs and only issued one walk on Sunday afternoon.

(22:40) Clayton Beeter, notched the save after Cionel Perez pitched the 8th.  Are these sort of decisions made by the Front Office prior to the game?

(28:30) The Nats move their road to Philadelphia for a three game series with Foster Griffin take the mound on Monday.  Tuesday's starter is still TBD, will it be Zach Littell?
