Routed in Chicago but Wood Homers
from Nats Chat · host Mark Zuckerman & Al Galdi, Blue Wire
The Nats were trounced 10-2 on Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field for their first loss of the season. Mark (From Chicago) & Al discuss a sloppy affair for the visitors. One of the runs came courtesy of James Wood, after connecting on his first homer of the season, while hitting in the leadoff spot. (10:15) Drew Millas was a very surprising choice to bat 2nd in the lineup. It is expected that Millas and Ruiz will split catching duties to begin the year. (14:00) Nasim Nunez made an incredible defensive play at SS late in the game. Nunez got the nod due to a recent death in CJ Abrams' family and came through with a RBI single at the plate. Abrams also apologized to Blake Butera for the mental lapse on Opening Day. (20:45) Miles Mikolas lasted five innings in his Nats debut, but allowed allowed six hits and four earned runs in the process. Mikolas was plagued with poor defense behind him in the pivotal bottom of the 2nd. (29:05) The bullpen yielded four runs, but Cole Henry did retire the heart of the Cubs order in the bottom of the 8th. (31:00) Washington acquired utility man Curtis Mead, who has previous big league experience. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
