The Washington Nationals host the Cleveland Guardians early Wednesday afternoon both still looking for the series win in this finale.

After a split doubleheader, the Washington Nationals host the Cleveland Guardians in the rubber match finale of this series on Wednesday afternoon. This is the first and only series between these two this season. The opener was flexed into a doubleheader on Tuesday after the game on Monday was rained out. Each team picked up a game with the Nationals winning Game 1 in a close 10-9 matchup. Game 2 was a big bounce back for the Guardians to tie this series after a 9-1 victory. The second game loss in the doubleheader ended a three-game winning streak for Washington.

The Nationals had a very comfortable lead in the series opener on Tuesday, but nearly let it slip away allowing six runs in the seventh inning. The Nationals were up 6-2 going into the inning but were down 8-6 by the time they came up to bat. Fortunately for them they weren’t phased and scored four runs of their own in the inning highlighted by Jose Tena’s two-RBI double to go up two runs. The Guardians didn’t mess around in the second game of the double header with a dominating win by eight runs. Cleveland didn’t score until the sixth inning though, but Carlos Santana’s three-run blast broke open the game and effectively tied the series.

Logan Allen will work on winning this series for Cleveland as he gets the start on Wednesday. The lefty is 1-2 with a 4.02 ERA. He only gave up two runs in his last start against the Toronto Blue Jays but still didn’t earn the win. The Nats will counter with Michael Soroka, who is still looking for his first win of the season with a 0-1 record and a 7.20 ERA.
