Recapping the Nats recent Transactions

Gus Varland's Emergence as Closer

James Wood's Phenomenal Defense

Dissecting the Nats 15-17 Start

Miles Mikokas' Improved Command

Cade Cavalli's Wednesday Outing

Keys to Brewers Series

The Washington Nationals just took two of three from a very vulnerable New York Mets team. It had the same elements that have made the Nats great throughout March and April -- James Wood was a highlight factory, CJ Abrams hit a go-ahead homer and Cade Cavalli struck out 10 -- but there were also a few encouraging elements that suggested Washington could keep improving.

The District Territory crew also talks about Gus Varland and the bullpen, a controversial decision from Blake Butera, and whether this stretch from Miles Mikolas is the real deal. That, plus quick updates on a big-league signing at the start of the episode.
