Episode Description from the Publisher

The Nats beat visiting Toronto 8-6 on Tuesday night to even the series.  Al & Tim dig into Washington tying a franchise mark with six walks drawn in the bottom of the 1st.  It was a nightmare outing for Shane Bieber; who issued three RBI walks along the way. (08:10) Luis Garcia Jr. slugged his 22nd homer of the season off of a lefty. Garcia Jr. is a Free Agent after the 2027 season and therefore he is very much a candidate to be dealt away before this Trade Deadline. (14:30) Dylan Crews followed up Garcia's blast with his own in order to go Back-to-Back in the 4th. Crews has been playing better lately and his OPS is currently at .706. (17:00) Cade Cavalli lasted six innings and earned the win despite not having his "Best stuff" according to Blake Butera.  Cavalli is in the midst of a hot stretch and his ERA is down to 3.55 for the season.  Is Cavalli the team's Ace or is it Foster Griffin? (25:00) Trevor Williams is taking Gus Varland's roster spot and is expected to join the bullpen.  Williams hasn't pitched in the majors in over a year as he has been recovering from internal brace surgery. (29:00) Arizona outlasted Pittsburgh on Tuesday night to move one game ahead of both the Nats & Pirates. Zack Littell will take the mound on Wednesday as Washington is two games above .500.  Link to this episode sponsor: https://ccanactionfund.org/2026-ev-raffle/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
