Washington Nationals vs Houston Astros Game Thread
The Nationals had their first winning week in about two months. Now they are looking to win their third straight series in Houston. It is a different looking Astros team to the one we are used to due to injury but they are still a force in the AL West.
As we suggested at Federal Baseball, James Wood is getting his day off after a miserable run lately. Daylen Lile will slide over to left field, pushing Alex Call to right. Jacob Young will also return to the lineup after an injury scare. Paul DeJong has not played much second base in his career, but that is where he will be today. Brad Lord will get the start. It will be interesting to see how deep he goes.
