The Nats got a much needed win to stop the bleeding last night. Now, they will look to get back to their series winning ways this afternoon. The boys have a rubber match with the Orioles. Both teams could really use this win, so this should be a hard fought contest.
Blake Butera is making a few changes to his lineup. Curtis Mead, Keibert Ruiz and Jacob Young are back in the lineup. With Mead at third, the red hot Jorbit Vivas slides over to second to give Nasim Nunez the day off. Young will be in center, with Daylen Lile and Dylan Crews manning the corners. James Wood will be in the DH spot. Zack Littell will get the ball and look to tame this O’s offense like Foster Griffin did.
The O’s are getting two players back in their lineup from the injured list. Adley Rutschman is back, and will be catching. Dylan Beavers also returns for the O’s, and he will be in right. Samuel Basallo will be at first, giving Pete Alonso DH duties. We will also see Colton Cowser for the first time in this series. Kyle Bradish has been very good lately, and gets the call for the Birds.
Stadium: Oriole Park at Camden Yards
As mentioned, this is an important game for both teams. Hopefully the weather can hold up so we can get this in. The vibes are not fully back for the Nats yet, but things would be back on track with a win to get over .500. Follow along in the comments down below and let’s go Nats.
