    Nationals Beat Themselves in 6-3 Loss to Astros | Blake Butera Calls Out Andrew Alvarez, Dylan Crews' Missed Opportunity

    The Washington Nationals let a winnable game slip away in a 6-3 loss to the Houston Astros, and manager Blake Butera didn't hold back afterward. In this episode of the Nats Minutecast, we break down Butera's pointed comments about Andrew Alvarez "pitching scared" after issuing five walks and a hit batter, why Riley Cornelio's high-leverage performance may have been a turning point for the young reliever, and how Dylan Crews came within one swing of becoming the hero against Josh Hader. Plus: • James Wood keeps making history with another leadoff home run. • Why free passes continue to haunt the Nationals' young pitching staff. • The significance of Cornelio attacking the strike zone. • The learning moment for Dylan Crews in a bases-loaded showdown with one of baseball's best closers. • Why Wednesday's rubber game behind Foster Griffin suddenly feels much bigger.
