We all know how the last three games have gone, but it is time to turn the page and move on to the Orioles series. As has been mentioned at length, this Nats team has been resilient this season. However, this upcoming stretch is the biggest test yet. It is tough to drop three games in such brutal fashion in a row, but they managed to do it.
With a lefty on the mound, Andres Chaparro is in the lineup again over Luis Garcia. He will play first base in this one. CJ Abrams is back in the lineup after not starting yesterday. That moves Nasim Nunez to second and Jorbit Vivas out of the lineup. Daylen Lile will be the DH, and James Wood will move to right field. Andrew Alvarez will start, and hopefully he gives some length so we get as little of the bullpen as possible.
The O’s are missing Adley Rutschman, but they have a lot of firepower in their lineup. Pete Alonso has been red hot lately. Jackson Holliday missed the series in DC, but he is in the lineup today up in Baltimore. Samuel Basallo will catch with Rutschman out. Trevor Rogers is on the bump tonight.
Stadium: Oriole Park at Camden Yards
As mentioned up top, this is a big test for the Nats. I am pretty confident that the offense will be resilient, but will the bullpen have their backs? We will find out soon enough. Follow along in the comments down below and let’s go Nats!
