Following a three-game sweep against the Mets, the Nationals are now in town for a three-game series to finish off the current homestand. Jhoulys Chacin makes the start tonight, coming off of a good start his last time out. He pitched six scoreless innings, allowing just two hits and three walks in the start.
In the lineup, Lorenzo Cain is out of the lineup after getting hit in the hand with a pitch yesterday, so Ben Gamel gets the opportunity to lead off. Meanwhile, Ryan Braun also gets a day off and Eric Thames gets the start in right field tonight.
