Game 34: Nats Slug Their Way to 17 Runs in Arizona

The Nationals routed Arizona 17-2 to open up a seven game road trip. Mark & Al for a change have plenty of offensive contributors to run through, including Yan Gomes, who had five hits and was a homer shy of the cycle. Kyle Schwarber homered for the 2nd straight game and Josh Bell was part a trio of players who had 3 RBIs.(16:52) Max Scherzer only pitched five scoreless innings and now leads the NL in strikeouts. Two factors led to his early exit, one was the lopsided score, and the other is something that will catch you by surprise.(24:01) Stephen Strasburg will make a rehab start for AAA Rochester in Trenton, NJ on Sunday at 1pm. Will this be this final tuneup before joining the Nats rotation again?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
