The Nats led 3-0 entering the bottom of the 6th, but an ensuing comedy of errors tilted the evening in the Marlins direction for an 8-3 loss on Wednesday. Mark (From Miami) & Al though begin with the very encouraging news that MacKenzie Gore not only is coming off the IL, but will take the mound on Thursday night in South Florida.

(08:00) Jake Irvin tossed five scoreless innings, but it all came apart in the four run bottom of the 6th.  The defense made a pair of errors, Miguel Cairo was ejected after a replay didn't go Washington's way, and Jake Irvin was also ejected just after he was removed from the mound.

(15:20) The sloppy defense leads to a conversation about what kind of Manager could be in the dugout in 2026.

(23:35) James Wood struck out three times and now is up to 198 on the season.  It is the 2nd most in franchise history and he is only one behind Adam Dunn's dubious mark from 2010.

(24:40) Daylen Lile tripled for the fourth time this road trip and he is stunningly just two behind the team record since moving to D.C.  Denard Span, who coincidentally called the game on MASN, has most in Nats history with 11 triples.  The most impressive part of all of this is that Lile has basically only played half of a season.

(30:00) Seaver King & Jake Bennett are the main organizational names headed to the Arizona Fall League.

(33:45) Josh Whetzel, the Voice of the AAA-Rochester Red Wings, provides his weekly update on players such as Nick Schnell, Andrew Pinckney, and Phillip Glasser.
