Williams Pitches Well in Defeat

The Nats lost their fifth in a row on Friday afternoon, but there were positive items to focus on amid defeat. Mark (From Chicago) & Al gather after the Nationals 3-1 loss at Wrigley Field that keeps the team stuck at 68 wins.

Williams has one start remaining and these outings might serve as a de facto tryout for 2025.
