Game 112: Meneses Menaces the Cubs
Episode description
The Nats snapped their six game skid with a dramatic 6-5 win at Wrigley Field. Mark (Live from the Friendly Confines) and Al celebrate "Joey Four Bags" Meneses' big night as he connected on the game winning 2 run HR in the top of the 8th. Menses has three homers since being called up a week ago in the midst of his Age 30 season.
(06:40) Keibert Ruiz has his thunder stolen a bit in the victory as he homered twice early in the game. Ruiz rounded out his strong evening by throwing out a runner and laying down a nifty tag on a play at the plate.
(18:40) Our Guy Paolo Espino gave the Nationals the best start they've had in awhile as he only allowed one run in five frames. He was in line for the win until the bullpen briefly coughed up the lead.
(32:05) Patrick Corbin will skip his next start, but then will return to the rotation next week. The hosts evaluate where the lefty stands after the news. Is a move to the bullpen the next step?
