Game 59: Bullpen Turns Close Game Into a Laugher

The Nats were routed 11-3 in Sunday's rubber match as the bullpen was unable to keep it close against Philadelphia's powerful lineup. Mark & Al lay out how poorly the 'pen pitched, evidenced by the fact that Philly led 2-1 until Andres Machado allowed a 3 run HR vs. Kyle Schwarber in the top of the 6th. Will there be some roster maneuvering by Tuesday?(10:20) Trevor Williams' start ended on a sour note as the runners that came across on the "SchwarBomb" were charged to his stat line. Williams' has struggled as of late and his current ERA is at 4.15.(20:00) The offense had another quiet game and the majority of runs did not come until Ildemaro Vargas' 2 run HR in the 9th. Joey Meneses meanwhile tripled for the first time this year and now has a team high 71 hits on the season (Lane Thomas 2nd place with 63 hits).(24:35) Mark adds more context to the Stephen Strasburg situation; including details on why there is not disability insurance on the massive contract.
