All of a sudden, the Nationals are in the midst of yet another long losing streak. They were playing good baseball for a few weeks, but the tides have turned and they have now lost seven in a row. The Nats will look to turn the tides and avoid a sweep to the Rays.
With a lefty on the mound, the Nationals will switch up their lineup. Andres Chaparro will get the start at first base. Riley Adams is going to get a heavy workload now that Drew Millas is out and he will start yet again behind the plate. Daylen Lile will start in the outfield for the first time since his illness. That means James Wood will DH. After a couple days out of the lineup, Brady House is back at third base. Brad Lord will start on the mound.
For the Rays, Tristan Gray will get his first start of the series at second base. That moves Brandon Lowe to DH. Everson Pereira will start in center field as he did in the first game of the series. Hunter Feduccia will get another start behind the plate. Rookie Ian Seymour will start on the mound.

The Nationals need to stop the skid at seven games. However, they are facing a lefty in a day game. That combination has not been kind to them this season. Hopefully that can change today. Follow along in the comments and let’s go Nats!
