The Nats lost 7-2 on Wednesday night for their 3rd straight defeat. Mark (From Philadelphia) & Al begin with an update on James Frisbie, one of the Nationals batting practice pitchers, who collapsed on the field at the beginning of the day's workouts.  He received immediate medical attention and is apparently "feeling better".

(06:45) Jake Irvin gave up a pair of homers, including a 3-run shot in the bottom of the 1st to Kyle Schwarber.  Irvin has allowed eight homers so far on the season in seven starts and has shown signs of diminishing velocity.
