Here’s the Washington Nationals lineup for tonight’s game versus the Philadelphia Phillies.
Adam Eaton – RF
Trea Turner – SS
Bryce Harper – CF
Anthony Rendon – 3B
Juan Soto – LF
Ryan Zimmerman – 1B
Matt Wieters – C
Wilmer Difo – 2B
Stephen Strasburg – P
Stephen Strasburg (6-7, 3.90 ERA) returns from the DL to take the mound for the Nationals against the first place Phillies. Zach Eflin (9-4, 3.70 ERA) will start for Philadelphia.
After taking the first game 10-4, Washington will be looking for the series win tonight.
Hopes of a playoff run rest in the Nats’ ability to eat up the ground a disappointing summer campaign has cost them in the NL East. Every game counts, but Nats’ fans know this one counts just a little bit more.
