This game could be a little spicier than your average Wednesday get away day game. After the brawl last night, the temperature is hot in this series. After the Red Sox took the first game, the Nats struck back thanks to a gem from Cade Cavalli. Now the teams do battle one last time.
Interestingly, CJ Abrams is getting the day off in this one. That means Nasim Nunez will play short and Jorbit Vivas will play third. Daylen Lile will be the DH in this contest, meaning James Wood is in left, Jacob Young
is in center and Dylan Crews in right. Andres Chaparro is preferred at first base, but Luis Garcia Jr. will be looming on the bench. Brad Lord will be the opener for Andrew Alvarez.
Willson Contreras has had quite the series, and since no punishments have been dished out yet, he will be playing first base and hitting cleanup. Nate Eaton, Andruw Monasterio and Connor Wong will all get their first starts of the series. Payton Tolle is a massive lefty with a nasty heater and he will be getting the ball this afternoon.

There is a powder keg of emotion leading up to this one. Hopefully everyone is on their best behavior and will let the playing do the talking. This is also a key rubber match for both teams. Follow along in the comments down below and let’s go Nats!
