The Nats finally snapped their long skid and it all came on the back of James Wood in the 4-3 win over Colorado in 11 innings. Al & Tim discuss the burgeoning superstar as the 22-year old went deep twice and knocked in all four runs.  Wood is up to 20 homers and he is tied for 5th in the NL.

(14:30) Trevor Williams had a decent outing as he only allowed two runs in just over five innings of work.

Ferrer also pitched well as he had two punch outs while recording five outs.
