About this episode
The Nats are back above .500 after Monday night's 7-3 win in Colorado. Mark (From Coors Field) & Al tip their caps to an unlikely bullpen trio that tossed almost five scoreless innings in the victory. Riley Cornelio took over for Andrew Alvarez in the 5th, Matt Krook grabbed the baton in the 7th, and Tom Cosgrove notched a very efficient six-out save to close it out.
(09:30) Andres Chaparro homered for the third time on the road trip to put Washington up 3-0. Chaparro later found himself in the middle of a silly brawl after Rockies starter Kyle Freeland took issue with how Chaparro returned to the dugout after flying out.
(16:15) Jacob Young went deep to put the Nationals up for good in the top of the 6th. CJ Abrams then homered in the next frame to give Washington some breathing room and a 6-3 lead.
(18:00) Curtis Mead recorded three hits and his OPS is up to .870. How much does he factor into the organization's long-term plans?
(26:40) Andrew Alvarez allowed three runs off of six hits in his Monday night start. Alvarez's ERA is at 4.22 through 14 appearances and his job is in jeopardy when Jake Irvin returns from the IL. Irvin threw a scoreless rehab start for AA-Harrisburg on Sunday.
(30:00) Background on PJ Poulin's injury.
(33:00) Trevor Williams gave up three runs in Sunday's rehab start with High-A Wilmington.
