After a refreshing win yesterday, the Nationals are back in action tonight. They will look to win the series over the Marlins. Hopefully the offense can get going because even in the win, they were still pretty quiet. Operation do not lose 100 games continues for the Nats.
The sporadic playing time for Brady House continues as Paul DeJong will get the start at third base despite cooling off lately. Riley Adams will be back behind the plate but will have a new backup in Jorge Alfaro. Dylan Crews returns to the lineup, as does Jacob Young who will man center field. Cade Cavalli will look to bounce back from a rough start in the Bronx.
The Marlins will make a couple tweaks themselves. Liam Hicks has been quietly solid for the Fish and he will start behind the plate. That moves Agustin Ramirez to DH. Troy Johnston will start at first base with a righty on the mound. Victor Mesa Jr. will be playing right field. Former Padres farmhand Adam Mazur will start for the Marlins.
