After the Nats lost a close one last night, they need to rebound and get back on track. They are 3-7 in their last 10, so a win this afternoon is much needed. The Nats will have to face a massive rookie lefty to get that win though.

The Nats lineup looks very different today. CJ Abrams will get his first scheduled off day of the season. That means Nasim Nunez will slide over to shortstop. Curtis Mead will play second base for the first time this season. After getting called up today, Andres Chaparro will hit third and play first base. Joey Wiemer will also be back in the lineup against a lefty. Keibert Ruiz will be back behind the plate. He will be catching Jake Irvin, who toes the slab this afternoon.

The White Sox are also making a couple changes. Andrew Benintendi will DH and hit leadoff. Munetaka Murakami will hit in the 2 hole. Everson Pereira will play right, which shifts Tristan Peters to center field. Noah Schultz is a 6’10 lefty for the White Sox, who has major prospect pedigree. Excited to watch him throw the ball.

The Nats have been slumping the past week or so. Today would be a great day to snap out of that slump. Yesterday was a painful loss, but the series is still up for grabs. Follow along down below and let’s go Nats.
