The Nationals lost 7-3 to Cincinnati in Cade Cavalli's debut. Al & Mark recap the prized pitching prospect's first start that saw him allow seven runs under five frames. They explain why he pitched better than the box score reflects on a rather humid evening in D.C where he dealt six strikeouts.
(07:21) Cavalli did not get help from the defense behind him as CJ Abrams had a first inning throwing error that should have been corralled by Luke Voit. Cavalli's final inning saw more misplays, including a blunder by Luis Garcia trying to turn a double play. Should the Nats look at other 1B options in the off-season?
(22:30) Luis Garcia made his first start at 2B after his brief rehab stint in Rochester. This was also the first time we saw he and Abrams up the middle together. Why isn't Abrams showing more at the plate?
(31:05) Julio Rodriguez is signing a massive extension to stay in Seattle that locks him up long-term. Why didn't Washington do the same with Juan Soto?
