The losing streak is now at eight games as the Nats were doubled up the Braves 8-4. Al & Mark recap yet another defeat as for the first time ever they have lost fourteen out of their last fifteen games. Patrick Corbin was dealt the "L" as the Nationals have lost the last nine times he has faced Atlanta. The bottom of the 9th did have some entertaining elements though as Washington scored three runs, brought up the tying run to the plate, and Juan Soto was able to show up Braves closer Will Smith.

(16:07) Luis Garcia had a throwing error that kick-started Atlanta's three runs in the 1st inning, his 9th error of the season. Should the Nats keep him at SS or move him to 2B now?

(22:03) Sean Doolittle's season is over as he will undergo internal brace surgery on his UCL. Mark explains why this is better than Tommy John surgery.

(27:07) Austin Voth was quoted in ESPN about his observations of now being with the Orioles; including the amount of data used. This raised Al's eyebrows as a reflection of what the Nats seemingly lack in their organization.
