The Nationals issues finishing off sweeps have been well documented at this point. They will get another chance to finally bring out the broomsticks this afternoon. This has already been a great road trip, but getting the sweep would be the icing on the cake. A good road trip has the chance to become a great one.<\/p>\n

Blake Butera has decided to give CJ Abrams<\/a> an off day this afternoon. Abrams has rough numbers against Robbie Ray<\/a>, so the Nats decided today was the right day to give him a breather. Nasim Nunez will take his place at shortstop and Jorbit Vivas<\/a> will play second. Curtis Mead<\/a> is at third. James Wood<\/a> will DH, meaning Daylen Lile<\/a> is in left, Jacob Young<\/a> is in center and Dylan Crews<\/a> is in right. Andres Chaparro<\/a> will be at first with a lefty on the hill and Keibert Ruiz<\/a> will be behind the dish. Foster Griffin<\/a> is on the mound for the Nats.<\/p>\n

The Giants are also making a few changes. Interestingly, Casey Schimitt moves from left field to shortstop, giving Willy Adames<\/a> an off day. Victor Bericoto will get his first start of the series in left field. Matt Chapman<\/a> will move up to the 3 spot against a left hander. Veteran Robbie Ray will be on the hill for the Giants.<\/p>\n

The Nats are looking for a sweep, but will have to do it without their star shortstop, at least for the start of the game. This has already been a very good road trip, but has the chance to be a special one.
