Mead Goes Deep in 4th Straight Victory

The Nats won their 4th game in a row on Tuesday night.  Mark & Al recap the 6-4 win over Kansas City as the team is currently in sole possession of the NL's 3rd wildcard spot.  The success is starting to become more believable as they have won nine of their past eleven series.

(08:30) Curtis Mead broke the tie with a 3-run HR in the bottom of the 7th. Mead is up to eleven homers so far this season which is far by his career high.

(14:00) Nasim Nuñez had an incredible all-around game.  He tripled twice, stole a base, scored three runs, and made a great play in the field.  Nuñez leads the NL in stolen bases with 26 so far this season.

(24:00) Foster Griffin did not earn the win, but tossed a solid six innings on Tuesday night. Griffin only gave up one run and struck out six Royals as his ERA is now at 3.32.

(28:00) Gus Varland recorded his 6th Save of the season, but did give up a 9th inning run. Varland escaped a jam in order to preserve the two-run lead.
