) C.J. Abrams 2-run homer tied the game in the bottom of the 8th, but the Nats ran themselves out of a chance to the take lead. Josh Bell was picked off while curiously taking off for 2nd base with James Wood standing on 3rd.

) Wood struck out three times and has the 3rd most Ks in all of Baseball.

) Michael Soroka had a decent outing as he lasted five innings. Is he someone that can be dealt at the Deadline?

) Brad Lord has been moved back into the starting rotation as Shinnosuke Ogasawara is remaining in AAA. Why Is Cade Cavalli still in Rochester and not in the Washington rotation?

) Analysis of the team's draft approach. Eli Willits will be introduced on Saturday afternoon shortly after he is expected to sign.

The Nats opened the 2nd half much with a 7-2 loss to the Padres after Kyle Finnegan made a mess of a tied game. Mark & Al recap the closer falling apart in the top of the 9th while other teams keep a close eye on the right hander ahead of the Trade Deadline. Finnegan only recorded one out while giving up a grand slam to Manny Machado and his ERA is now up to 4.37.
