Sloppy Shutout Loss

Nats Chat

The Nats were blanked 6-0 on Monday afternoon by the Cardinals to wrap up their eight game home stand. Mark & Al recap a sluggish defeat as the team has only had one day off since June 18th. There are six games remaining until the All-Star Break.

(06:00) CJ Abrams committed two errors one day after being named an All-Star. James Wood went 0 for 4, but did have a diving catch in CF.

(10:00) Mitchell Parker had solid outing on the mound, but not with the glove. Parker misplayed a bunt and did not properly cover 1B on a separate play. He did last seven innings and only allowed one earned run on 91 pitches.

(18:00) Prior to the game Joan Adon was called up from Rochester in place of LHP DJ Herz. Adon threw the 9th inning, but did give up two St. Louis runs. Adon recently has been pitching out of the bullpen in AAA and Herz is expected to return to the majors later this summer.

(25:00) Time is running out for Trevor Williams to be on the trade block. Williams had been on the IL since June 4th due to a right flexor muscle strain.

(27:00) Jake Irvin is facing the Mets on Tuesday night just a few days after getting snubbed from the All-Star Game. Irvin last week on July 4th tossed eight shutout innings when facing New York.
