Game 131: "Joey Four Bags" Walks It Off!

The Nats topped Oakland 7-5 in extras for their first walk-off win of the season as "Joey Four Bags" crushed a 3 run shot in the bottom of the 10th. Al & Tim discuss the next chapter in the unlikely story that is Joey Meneses as he now has seven homers since being called up a month ago. Meneses on Thursday had four hits and is hitting a whopping .354 with Washington.

(16:10) The other unexpected August addition, Ildemaro Vargas, had a RBI single to tie the game in the bottom of the 8th. He also filled in admirably at shortstop on CJ Abrams' day off.

(28:05) Paolo "The Secret Weapon" Espino had a solid outing where he struck out six in five frames. Why was he pulled after allowing only one run on sixty-six pitches?

(35:20) A brief update was given pregame on Stephen Strasburg and it wasn't particularly informative. No specific news on when he is expected to return.
