Your Washington Nationals are red hot. After a 15-7 drubbing of the Marlins, the Nats have won six of their last seven games. That big 9th inning on Sunday really seemed to wake up the offense because yesterday was an everyone eats kind of game.
There are only two changes to the lineup tonight. Paul DeJong will be replaced by the rookie Brady House. In the outfield, Jacob Young will take over for Robert Hassell III. Otherwise, this is the same crew that put up 15 runs yesterday. Mitchell Parker will be pitching.
The Marlins are making more changes. Javier Sanoja, Eric Wagaman and Joey Wiemer are going to be in the lineup despite sitting yesterday. The fish had a great summer, but have been fading lately as injuries have caught up to them. Their biggest absence is All-Star Kyle Stowers. Adam Mazur will face the Nats for a second start in a row.
