You can’t call the eighth game of an 162 game season a must win, but today is a must win by 8th game of the season standards. Follow along down in the comments for this big time tilt with the D-Backs.
Davey Martinez is making some alterations to his lineup, something he has done every game of the season so far. Amed Rosario will hit second and play second base with a left handed arm on the mound. The struggling Jacob Young will also get a day off. Mitchell Parker will take the mound for the Nats after a stellar first start.
The D-Backs will be without the services of their star second baseman Ketel Marte, who will be on the IL after suffering a hamstring injury. In his place, Tim Tawa will make his MLB debut. Eduardo Rodriguez will take the mound.
