The walkoff win last night gave Nationals fans a much needed breath of fresh air. Cade Cavalli looked great and CJ Abrams came through in the clutch. Now the Nats are back in action early this afternoon as they look to win the series against the Athletics.
Miguel Cairo will make a couple tweaks to his lineup for the final game of this series. A cold Brady House will get the day off as Paul DeJong slides from second to third base. Luis Garcia Jr. will get the start at second. Daylen Lile will return to the lineup as James Wood will get the start at DH. Mitchell Parker will be your starting pitcher.
The Athletics made some interesting changes. With Shea Langeliers being red hot but needing a day off from catching, they moved him to DH. Regular DH Brent Rooker will get the start in right field. We will see Luis Urias for the first time in this series. Backup catcher Willie MacIver will get the start behind the dish. He will be catching southpaw Jacob Lopez.
