The Nats lost 7-4 in San Diego as Erick Fedde returned from the IL. Al & Mark assess the current state of the rotation with Fedde's return. Who will be the odd man out between Jon Lester & Paolo Espino?

(8:47) Analysis of Fedde's start after missing nearly two weeks due to an oblique injury. Should he have had a rehab start before taking the mound for Washington?

(14:15) The Nationals flashed plenty of leather Tuesday night, especially Trea Turner & Victor Robles. Defensively on the other side, Fernando Tatis Jr. had an awe inducing throw to the plate to nail Starlin Castro. Should Bobby Henley have sent him?

(22:02) Juan Soto hit his 10th homer of the season and all but one of have come on the road. Any reason for that or is it just a quirk?

(26:13) We close with a listener email asking if Victor Robles's offensive development was stunted by not spending more time in the minors.
