Wood Hits 25th Homer in Defeat

The Nats fell 6-3 on Tuesday night to the visiting Astros. Al & Mark gather after Washington's 9th inning rally came up short with the bases loaded and Dylan Crews facing Josh Hader. Crews stuck out in a pinch-hit appearance as he stepped in for Keibert Ruiz.

(07:00) Nasim Nuñez was caught sealing for just the 4th time on the season, but it came in an inopportune spot to conclude the bottom of the 8th.

(14:00) James Wood led off with a homer for the 8th time this season. Wood has the 2nd OPS in the NL and is now up to 25 home runs on the season. The franchise single-season record was set by Alfonso Soriano in 2006 with 46 homers.

(18:30) Andrew Alvarez only gave up four hits, but issued five walks in his outing. Alvarez pitched into the 6th inning and ultimately allowed five runs while taking the loss.

(25:15) Blake Butera apologized pregame for sending Cole Henry out for a 2nd inning of work on Monday night. Henry has since been optioned to AAA-Rochester.

(33:00) A few more pitchers were added to the All-Star Game, but Foster Griffin is not one of them.
