Walk-off HR Stops the Sweep Effort
Paul Goldschmidt's solo homer walked off the Nats 4-3 on Sunday afternoon in St. Louis. Mark (From Busch Stadium) & Al start by wondering if Dylan Floro should have returned to the mound with the game tied in the bottom of the 9th. Floro had been in the game since the 7th after escaping a jam set up by Robert Garcia. It was the first homer that Floro allowed all season.
(07:00) The Trade Deadline is at 6pm Eastern on Tuesday July 30th. The Nationals have made two trades so far, but a cloud of uncertainty is hanging over the team during this road trip.
(14:00) Get to learn more about Tyler Stuart, the AA pitcher that Washington acquired from the Mets in exchange for Jesse Winker.
(18:00) DJ Herz struck out eight Cardinals in just five innings of work. Herz has only allowed a pair of runs in each of his past two outings since called back up to the majors.
(21:00) Lane Thomas extended his on base streak to 25 games. Thomas is very much on the trade block as questions remain on who should play RF long term.
(31:00) CJ Abrams is having an All-Star season, but not a good July. Abrams had a fantastic April & June, but has mightily struggled in both May and this current month.
