After an emotional win last night, the Nats evened the series with the Mets and got within a game of .500 again. Now, the Nationals<\/a> can get back to .500 with a win. The best offense in baseball will be facing a kid making his big league debut. Hopefully they can give him a rude awakening.<\/p>\n

With a lefty on the mound, Blake Butera will be making some changes to the lineup. Curtis Mead<\/a> will be in the 2 hole and play third base. Andres Chaparro<\/a> will make his first start since being recalled, playing first base. Dylan Crews<\/a> will shift to right field with Jacob Young<\/a> making his return to the lineup. Keibert Ruiz<\/a> will be behind the plate in this one. Zack Littell<\/a> will get the ball after having a nice start against the O\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The Mets are also making a few changes. Juan Soto<\/a> will be playing the field, getting the start in left. A.J. Ewing will be back in the lineup, playing center field. MJ Melendez<\/a> will start at DH and Hayden Senger<\/a> will do the catching. Zach Thornton will make his MLB debut tonight. The lefty is a command artist.<\/p>\n
