Game 32: Another Blown Save for Hand

The Nats cough up a late lead and fall 5-2 in extras to the Phillies. Mark & Al analyze Brad Hand's second blown save in less than a week, which led to the first team meeting of the season. What will come from the message Davey Martinez delivered to the club postgame?

Finally, a preview of Patrick Corbin's Thursday start to try and avoid the sweep. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
