The Nationals split their first two games against the Pirates with some rather familiar results: The pitching staff blew up in the first game, and an offense led by CJ Abrams carried them through the second game.

 @batboysbaseball  Eric Shellhouse and The Athletic's Spencer Nusbaum talk about Abrams' homers off Paul Skenes and Mitch Keller and whether he can maintain his hot start. We also discuss the encouraging and discouraging signs from the bullpen, and Cade Cavalli's command woes.
