Drew Mendoza led the eight-hit attack with two singles and a double and drove in five, followed by Israel Pineda’s two singles with an RBI, and Jordy Barley’s three-run triple. Matt Merrill got the start but failed to go five innings for the fifth time in five starts, knocked from the box after getting five outs on 57 pitches.

Aside from Merrill, the SPs looked good yesterday. A sign of better days to come for the Nats?
Once again we can say that all 4 of the affiliates have winning records.
T.J. White is back but Brady House is still out with his secret injury.
Tyler Yankovsky has pitched 14+ innings and still has 0 walks. He was a 19th round pick in 2019 and is weeks away from his 24th birthday.
What with the revolving door in the bullpen cast – what’s up with our bullpen young guns parked in XST dealing with health issues or other scenarios ?
Fun fact:
Rochester with 38 steals in 42 attempts.
(Big club 9 steals in 14 attempts).
This is an interesting roll call of starters in system toeing the rubber . Especially @ AA with Shuman turning in a recent QS
Drew Mendoza took the red pill to start hitting dead red ?
