The Nats brought their bats to Anaheim as they out-slugged the Angels 15-9 on Friday night. Mark (From Orange County) & Al break down the 19 hit performance where the offense scored in seven different frames.

(6:10) A trio of Nationals had three hits in the win. C.J. Abrams, Luis Garcia Jr., and Nathaniel Lowe all came through at the plate on Friday night. Lowe has had a hot road trip as he has eight hits in the past seven games.

(13:00) Luis Garcia Jr.'s defensive struggles continued in the series opener as he committed an error in what was a sloppy team effort. The hosts evaluate his statistical regression in the field this season compared to 2024.

(17:30) Jake Irvin did not pitch well as he gave up eight runs off of nine hits in just over four innings of work.  Irvin's WHIP is now up to a troubling 1.30 with a 4.73 ERA.
