It is a day of change for the Nationals. Former top 2 pick Dylan Crews is back in the fold after spending the first month and a half in the minors. Fellow former top pick Brady House was sent down to make way for Crews, which is a real shakeup to this team.
Crews will be going right in the lineup, playing center field and hitting sixth. After getting hit last night, Jacob Young is not in the lineup, though Blake Butera indicated he should be back soon. Otherwise, the lineup will be fairly similar. Jorbit Vivas will move to third base and Nasim Nunez will return to second. Foster Griffin will be on the mound looking to bounce back from his worst start of the season.
The Mets also have a new face in the lineup. DMV kid Nick Morabito will make his MLB debut in his home town. He will play left field and hit 7th. Tyrone Taylor will play center field tonight, and AJ Ewing will get the night off. Otherwise, it is the same lineup for the Mets. Nolan McLean has emerged as an elite arm in his rookie year and he will be on the mound tonight.
After last night’s loss, the Nats are going to have to regroup and bounce back. They have shown an ability to shake off tough losses, and will have to do it again. Hopefully Foster Griffin will be back to his best. Follow along in the comments down below and let’s go Nats!
