About this episode

The Nats secured a 2-1 victory over the White Sox in another extra inning game, highlighting player performances and team culture.

The Nats emerged victorious in another extra inning affair this weekend vs. the White Sox. Mark (From Chicago) & Al recap Sunday's 2-1 triumph; where the Nationals took the series rubber match. (04:00) Washington went 9-8 in this stretch of 17 games in 17 days. As they sit at 13-16, it feels like the team culture is at a better place all things considered. (07:05) Foster Griffin tossed seven shutout innings and he closes his April with a very impressive 2.67 ERA. Griffin pitched in Japan for the past three seasons for the Yomiuri Giants. (15:10) Paxton Schultz notched the first save of his career immediately after getting called back from AAA. Clayton Beeter has been placed on the IL due to right forearm tightness. (22:00) Jose Tena pinch- hit for Jacob Young ; even though the Nationals were already up 1-0. Tena responded with a solo homer to give his squad some insurance. (26:40) Next game is Tuesday at the Mets after a much needed off day. Will we get an Opener for Zack Littell on Tuesday? (28:15) Some symmetry between the bizarre firing of the Red Sox staff and what happened to the firings on South Capitol Street last early July.
