The Nationals are on quite the roll right now. They have won 7 of their first 8 games in September and have won four in a row. Can they keep the momentum rolling? Well, we will find out tonight.
After taking a foul tip to an area where you do not want to take a foul tip, Riley Adams will be out of the lineup. Jorge Alfaro will take his place behind the plate. Besides that, there are not too many changes. The only other one is in center field, where Robert Hassell III will play instead of Jacob Young. It has been a rough ride for Jake Irvin lately, so hopefully he can get back on track tonight.
With a right-hander on the Marlins have loaded up on lefties. Troy Johnston, Liam Hicks and Victor Mesa Jr. all return to the lineup. Usually a platoon bat, Joey Wiemer will get the chance to face a righty after hitting a home run last night. Eury Perez has really struggled lately, including in his last start against the Nats. However, he has great talent.
