The Nats got a taste of their own recent medicine as Texas blanked them 5-0 on Saturday afternoon on South Capitol Street.  Al & Mark run through some of the recent offensive slumps as the team has only scored nine runs in their past six games.  

(05:00) Nathaniel Lowe went 1 for 3 in facing his former team. Lowe's OPS is a troubling .650, much lower than when it was .785 at the end of April. His last homer came on May 16th in Baltimore.

(09:45) Jacob deGrom was dominant on Saturday in seven shutout frames and looked like the pitcher we remember from the Mets. The two-time Cy Young winner has undergone a pair of Tommy John surgeries.

(15:40) Mitchell Parker continued his trend of struggling in the 1st inning, but then settled in from there.  Hear what Davey Martinez said when asked by Mark about the possibility of using an "Opener".

(24:00) It was not Cole Henry's day as he issued three walks and a balk. Eduardo Salazar has the roughest afternoon as he allowed three runs in the top of the 8th to let the game get out of reach.
