The Nats lost 6-3 to the Cubs to end what was likely the worst month in franchise history. Mark & Al put a bow on July 2021 and spin it forward. They analyze Victor Robles returning to the leadoff spot, which he briefly held back in April.
(11:28) Luis Garcia started at shortstop Saturday night as Alcides Escobar had the night off. Could he be the long-term answer there or will he likely be at 2B?

(20:30) Juan Soto enters a new chapter of his career as he is now "The Face of the Franchise". How will he handle that role, especially in an under .500 season? Plus, Joe Ross earned his "Spin the Wheel/ Make the Deal" status as he regressed this outing.
