After a deeply gratifying win to get to .500 yesterday, the Nats have a chance to sweep the O’s. Getting to .500 is cool, but getting over that hump would be even better. They will have a chance to do just that in front of what should be another stellar crowd at Nationals Park.
The Nats are not making too many adjustments to the lineup that got them 13 runs yesterday. After a great performance off the bench, Brady House will be starting again at third base. That pushed Jose Tena to DH and down the lineup. Keibert Ruiz stays behind the plate after his big day. Richard Lovelady will be the opener and Miles Mikolas will follow him.
The O’s are making more changes. Adley Rutschman will get the day off. That means young Samuel Basallo will do the catching. Taylor Ward moves up to the leadoff spot and takes Basallo’s place as the DH. Colton Cowser will be back in the lineup as the left fielder. Right hander Brandon Young will be on the mound for the birds.
