After yet another home loss, the Nats will look to get back on track at Nationals Park. They are now 3-11 at home, which is the worst in the league. There was not much they could do against Jacob Misiorowski last night, so hopefully the offense can get going against a different pitcher.

There will be some changes to that offense with a lefty on the mound. Joey Wiemer will be in the lineup and in right field, which pushes James Wood to left field and Daylen Lile to DH. Curtis Mead will remain at first base with a lefty on the mound. Jacob Young moves up in the lineup as well. Nasim Nunez and Keibert Ruiz will also be playing today. This will be the first time Foster Griffin sees a team twice, and I am intrigued to see how the lefty attacks this Brewers lineup for a second time.

The Brewers are only making a couple changes, despite a lefty being on the mound. Joey Ortiz will be back at shortstop and Brandon Lockridge will be in left field. Gary Sanchez will be behind the plate, which moves William Contreras to DH. Kyle Harrison has gotten off to a great start in his Brewers career and will get the ball this afternoon.

Back at it from D.C.

Now that they are not facing the Miz, this offense will actually have a chance. They have responded well after poor showings this season, and hopefully the same will be the case today. I feel like James Wood is due! Follow along in the comments down below and let’s go Nats.
