Roster Moves
Austen Williams and Drew Harrington were demoted to AAA. David Phelps was promoted from AAA. Durbin Feltman was promoted from AA.

W, (3-1) @Nationals Park
Rick Porcello bounced back from a tough last performance and had his best outing of the year by going 6.2 innings and allowing just one run. David Phelps had his first appearance of the year in a Nationals uniform and finished the seventh inning. Wander Suero and Brad Hand had a clean eighth and ninth inning. Hand had his 16th of the year. The offense relied on a couple of doubles of Murphy and Juan Soto.

W, (6-2) @Nationals Park
We took the second game of the series thanks to another quality performance by Max Scherzer. He went seven innings and struck out 12. He allowed 2 runs, both came thanks to a 2-run shot by Brock Holt on the third inning. Juan Soto had a great game going 3 for 4 with 4 runs batted in. Adam Eaton went deep on the third inning to achieve his 7th homer of the year.

L, (12-15) @Nationals Park
Kendal Graveman struggled in his second outing and gave up 5 runs in just 2.1 innings. The bullpen gave up 6 runs in the seventh and the eighth but the offense managed to come back in the ninth with a 3 run homer by Daniel Murphy and the game went to extras. Nevertheless, Brad Hand could not handle the Brewers offense in the 12th and gave up 3 runs that went unanswered by our offense.

Roster Moves
We lost yet another starter. Jameson Taillon was diagnosed with a ruptured disc and will be out for 8 months.
I´ve traded left fielder Yadiel Hernandez to the Indians in exchange for reliever James Karinchak and minor leaguer RHP Colton Hock
I´ve traded reliever Javy Guerra to the Texas Rangers in exchange for SP Kolby Allard, LHP Quintin Torres-Conta, and minor leaguer LF Steele Walker.

L, (4-7) @Nationals Park
We dropped the first game of the series against the Marlins after a terrible outing by Garret Richards. Quintin Torres-Costa made his debut as a National and recorded 1.1 innings of shutout baseball. Juan Soto had a homer and his 10th homer of the year.

W, (9-7) @Nationals Park
We secured the second game of the series thanks to an extra-innings walk-off win by Carter Kieboom. Rick Porcello had a bad outing and allowed 6 runs in 2.2 innings. Nevertheless, the offense came through and we won. Jason Castro went deep with 2 men on base on the seventh inning.

W, (8-1) @Nationals Park
The last game of the week featured an incredible performance by Max Scherzer. He struck out 16, a season-high for him, and had a complete game allowing just one run in 2 hits. The run came thanks to a long ball by Chisolm on the ninth inning. Kieboom had another big game as he went deep twice and Daniel Murphy recorded his 11th homer of the year.

League News
Nolan Arenado reached his 300th career Home-run.
Mackenize Gore, of the San Diego Padres, will undergo TJ surgery and will be out for the rest of the season.
