Wire Taps: Mike Rizzo optimistic about Anthony Rendon deal; Sean Doolittle being overused?; Patrick Corbin gets first win

Yesterday had the Mueller report — but it also had something bearing far more historical importance and cultural relevance. Yep, Wilmer Difo homered!

A tale of two Nats signings: Patrick Corbin (good), Trevor Rosenthal (not so much) (WaPo)
Patrick Corbin has gotten out to an impressive start, with a 2.36 ERA and a 33-5 strikeout-to-walk ratio (though he's using his slider less, which isn't great). Imagine how good the team would be if their bullpen was even remotely functional, or if Trevor Rosenthal suddenly found what he’s lost. But for him to find it, the Nats are going to have to hand him the ball more often.
