Nats Squander a 3-Run Lead

The Nats were ahead 3-0, but the Padres came back in the middle innings for a 4-3 triumph over Washington. Mark (From Petco Park) & Al discuss Trevor Williams' outing, as the veteran allowed four San Diego runs and took the loss.

(09:35) San Diego's go-ahead run came on a RBI groundout where Nathaniel Lowe took the easy out at 1B instead of throwing home for a force out.  Mark explains what led to Lowe's decision to not throw to the plate in the bottom of the 6th.

(15:25) The offense went just 1 for 9 with RISP in the loss.  James Wood struck out three times and is 5th in the Majors in that category this season.

(17:40) Jacob Young stole just his 7th base of the year in 15 attempts.  Why has he been so inefficient at swiping bags?

(24:00) Keibert Ruiz was placed on 10-day IL due to a head contusion that was suffered from an errant foul ball on Monday night.  Drew Millas has been recalled from Rochester.

(28:20) Travis Sykora continued his dominant stretch at High-A Wilmington with 8Ks on Tuesday evening.  Hear about the franchise's top pitching prospect, who was taken in the 3rd round in 2023.
