Follow along as the Nationals look to snap their six game losing streak as they play the Rays
The Washington Nationals are leaking oil right now. They are in the midst of a six game losing streak and their ace just went on the IL. The Nats will look to stop the bleeding in a late afternoon showdown with the Rays.
Interestingly, Brady House will be out of the lineup for a second straight game in favor of Paul DeJong. A lot of fans won’t be happy with that decision from Miguel Cairo. Luis Garcia Jr. will also move down to the 8 hole despite facing a right handed pitcher. Otherwise, it is a similar lineup to last night. Jake Irvin is on the mound and in desperate need of a good start.
With a righty on the mound, the Rays are making some changes to the bottom of their order. Scrappy Jake Mangum will play center field for the Rays to partner up fellow speedster Chandler Simpson in the outfield. Big Bob Seymour will play first base. Hunter Feduccia will get the start behind the plate and he will be catching Ryan Pepiot.
