Game 63: Schwarber Stays Hot in Narrow Win
The Nats topped Pittsburgh 3-2 to move out of last place. Mark & Al highlight how good the pitching has been in the past ten games before celebrating Kyle Schwarber's recent productive run in the leadoff spot. Should Schwarber hit leadoff vs. a left hander on Tuesday? (11:02) Juan Soto had a very poor throw home on a sacrifice fly. Is his shoulder still an issue? Plus, Jon Lester still can't earn a win, but had another solid outing. Should we be concerned by his trend of always having a high pitch count? The bullpen has had a great run lately and Tanner Rainey had multiple solid appearances in a row. Can he be elevated back to the "Varsity Bullpen"? (23:47) Mark has a further update on Max Scherzer. Will he return to the mound at all during this homestand? (27:15) Cade Cavalli was promoted to AA Harrisburg after just seven starts in Wilmington. Any chance he gets called up to Washington in September? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
