Parker Hit Hard in 6th Straight Loss

Friday night was a long one in Navy Yard as the Nats lost their 6th consecutive game.  Mark & Al discuss the 11-9 defeat to visiting Miami, on an evening that saw a 2+ hour rain delay and the final out made at about 12:30AM.

(04:30) Mitchell Parker's rough stretch continued as he gave up six runs in just over three innings of work. Davey Martinez was critical of Parker's fastball approach afterwards as the lefty's ERA is now up to 4.84 this year.

(09:00) Jose A. Ferrer had a poor showing in the top of the 8th when giving up three Miami runs. It was particularly deflating because this came after a big Nats inning that saw them cut the deficit to just one run after scoring five runs in the bottom of the 7th.

(13:45) The offense did have their best game in awhile by scoring nine runs off of 16 hits. Everyone in the lineup had at least one hit.

(14:30) James Wood had three hits and crushed his 17th homer of the season that went an estimated 451 feet. CJ Abrams & Keibert Ruiz joined Wood in gathering a trio of hits on Friday night.

(17:20) Nelly did indeed perform his postgame concert and it began at roughly 1:15PM.  Mark says that many in attendance waited through the long delay to see the concert.

(21:25) Trevor Williams takes the mound on the quick turnaround for the 1PM game on Saturday as Washington looks to avoid their 7th straight defeat.
