The Nats blanked the Cubs 2-0 on Wednesday night at Navy Yard.  Mark & Al recap MacKenzie Gore's sterling outing where he struck out seven in as many innings worked. Gore regained sole possession for the most strikeouts in MLB this season with 108.

(07:25) What are the chances that Gore starts the All Star Game next month in Atlanta for the NL?  Paul Skenes is currently the likely leader in the clubhouse on that front.

(14:00) Brad Lord stepped up in nursing the 1-0 lead in the top of the 8th. Lord has not allowed a run in six consecutive appearances.  Kyle Finnegan took over for him in the 9th and notched his 17th save of the year.

(17:35) The offense was carried by bench guys in the victory as the RBIs belonged to Amed Rosario & Nasim Nuñez.  Rosario homered in the bottom of the 7th to put Washington on the board and Nuñez doubled in the 8th for some insurance.

(24:10) An update on Mason Thompson, who is working his way back from a 2nd Tommy John surgery.

(30:00) Josh Whetzel, the Voice of the Rochester Red Wings, gives the latest on Brady House, Cade Cavalli, and more from AAA.
