Last night was not a banner night for the Washington Nationals pitching staff. However, the great thing about baseball is that you have a chance to redeem yourself the next day. The Nats will try to do that this afternoon against a surging Brewers team.
Despite Jacob Young having a bobblehead today, he will not be in the lineup. Robert Hassell III will take his place batting 9th and playing centerfield. Josh Bell will return to his DH duties after getting the night off last night. Otherwise, it will be a similar offense to the one that put up nine runs last night. Jake Irvin will take the mound.
With a righty on the mound, the Brewers will make a few changes. Sal Frelick will lead off and play right field. The late blooming Isaac Collins will play in left and Brice Turang will get the start at second. Anthony Seigler and Joey Ortiz will also be in the lineup. The Nats will get their second look at Brandon Woodruff this season.

After a good run, the Nats have now lost three straight. Today is a good opportunity to right the ship and get back on track. It will be a tall task against the Brew Crew, but no team is unbeatable. Feel free to share your thoughts on all things Nationals baseball down below.
