Game 68: Lester Almost Goes the Distance as Nats Club 3 HRs
Episode description
The Nationals beat the Mets 6-2 to split Saturday's Doubleheader. Al & Mark focus on Jon Lester's impressive attempt to throw a complete game shutout, that made it all the way until the top of the 7th (final inning). Should Davey Martinez have pulled him prior to the 7th, when the game all of a sudden got interesting?
(15:25) Kyle Schwarber went deep twice; including what has become his near tradition of a 1st inning HR. The winning home stand and his performance in the leadoff role have gone hand in hand. Plus, Trea Turner went yard for the first time in a month, will this lead to a surge for the SS?
(25:44) A preview of Sunday's series finale as Patrick Corbin takes the mound. Can the offense get to New York's Taijuan Walker?
