These Nats just continue to score runs in bunches. Last night, they put 8 on the board in a comfortable win over the Mets. Offensive performances like the one from last night just seem to be par for the course right now. Hopefully they can keep it up with a chance to get over .500 today.<\/p>\n

The Nats have the same lineup as last night. However, there is one position tweak. Daylen Lile<\/a> and James Wood are switching spots. Wood will be out in left field, while Lile will be the DH. Otherwise, it is exactly the same as last night, which is a rare occurrence under Blake Butera. Cade Cavalli<\/a> will take the ball, and he is coming off a strong outing against the O\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The Mets are making a couple changes to their lineup. Luis Torrens<\/a> will be back behind the plate, replacing Hayden Senger<\/a>. MJ Melendez<\/a> is the DH again, but he is moving down to the 8 hole. Besides that, it is mostly the same faces as we have seen the past few days. David Peterson<\/a> has been pitching behind an opener a lot lately, but today he will get the ball from the start.<\/p>\n

There could be some rain in the area, but hopefully it stays away until the game is over. This is a big chance for the Nats to make a statement to finish off a successful home stand. The offense is raking and this team has been so much fun to watch.
