Record-Setting 38th Blown Save

The Nats bullpen set a dubious MLB record in Tuesday night's 5-4 loss to the Padres. Mark (From San Diego) & Al examine the bullpen implosion that occurred in the bottom of the 8th as Washington fumbled away their 3-run lead. This was the 3rd blown save of the five game winless road trip in Southern California and their 38th of the season. That sets a record for blown saves; surpassing the 37 blown saves committed by the 2024 White Sox (stat began in 1988**). (08:00) Riley Cornelio threw three scoreless frames as he started the bullpen game. This was Cornelio's first career start at the major league level. (12:30) The game came apart for the Nats in the bottom of the 8th with a pair of recently called up rookies on the mound. Jared Simpson walked the bases loaded and Erik Tolman could not escape the jam. (19:00) Is this worst Nationals bullpen of all time? (28:00) YoYo Morales and Andres Chaparro each homered in defeat. Chaparro's OPS is at .881 after getting called up for good in mid May. (31:00) Eli WIllits is getting promoted to AA-Harrisburg after spending three months in Wilmington. Willits went 0 for 4 with two walks in his debut with the Senators on Tuesday while hitting 2nd and playing SS. (36:00) Mark gives an update on catcher Drew Millas who needs another surgery on his finger. Also hear some quick updates on Connelly Early and Josiah Gray's rehab efforts.
