Follow along as the battle of the Beltway continues between the Nats and O’s
Fresh off a thundering 7-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles in the series opener, the Nationals are looking to keep the momentum going. Especially on James Wood Bobblehead Day at the park.
Manager Dave Martinez is sticking with the same lineup that got the job done yesterday. “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” though Josh Bell might still be a work in progress.
Trevor Williams takes the mound tonight, hoping for a little more luck than his last outing. Despite giving up just one run on three hits over five innings against the Pirates, he was tagged with the loss. He’ll look to turn that around and help the Nats keep rolling.

The Orioles are shaking things up a bit in tonight’s lineup. Jordan Westburg slides into the DH spot, replacing Gary Sánchez. Opening the door for Ramón Urías, Baltimore’s only hitter batting above .300, to take over at third and bat ninth. Ryan Mountcastle gets the night off at first base, with Ryan O’Hearn stepping in. Meanwhile, Gunnar Henderson and Adley Rutschman flip spots in the order as the O’s look to spark the offense.
Taking the mound is Tomoyuki Sugano, who’s coming off his strongest outing of the season. He held the Guardians to just two runs on five hits across seven impressive innings and will try to carry that momentum into tonight’s game.
