YoYo Homers in Winning Debut

The Nats beat the Braves 9-5 on Tuesday night to open a two game series in Navy Yard. Al & Mark note how the team has won five of its past six games and their 67th victory of the season surpasses last season's total. Can they go 13-8 down the stretch to reach the 80-win plateau? (11:00) Yohandy "YoYo" Morales was a triple shy of the cycle in his MLB debut. His first MLB hit was a homer and he came very close to hitting a 2nd one, but it hit off the top of the wall. Morales was drafted in the 2nd Round of the 2023 Draft. (18:00) Jared Simpson also impressed in his MLB debut as he tossed three scoreless innings. Simpson took the mound in the top of the 5th and struck out a trio of Braves along the way. (22:00) CJ Abrams had two hits while playing SS in the victory and Brady House doubled off a right-handed pitcher. (25:00) Jake Irvin only lasted four innings despite giving up just two runs. Any chance he could moved to the bullpen next year? (28:00) James Wood is expected to come off the IL on Wednesday afternoon vs. Atlanta. (32:00) Paul Toboni met with the media prior to the game on Tuesday and of course CJ Abrams' defensive positioning came up. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
