This is not the first time the Nats have come back home with a lot of momentum following a successful road trip. They will look to actually keep the good times rolling at home this time. The Nats are 3-10 at home, a record they are desperate to improve. However, the Brewers will want another crack at the Nats after they were swept by the Nationals in Milwaukee.
There is one fairly big surprise in this Nats lineup. Curtis Mead is hitting third despite facing a right handed pitcher. Blake Butera liked
the matchup and wanted to ride the hot hand in Mead. He will be at first while Luis Garcia Jr. is at DH. Jorbit Vivas will be at second, while Brady House is at third. Drew Millas remains behind the plate. Jake Irvin will be on the hill for his second start against the Brewers.
The Brewers are turning to their flame throwing ace Jacob Misiorowski in the one. The Miz is one of the game’s premier strikeout artists, but he can be erratic at times. With Christian Yelich and Jackson Chourio out of the lineup, the Brewers lineup does not look as fearsome. However, it still features the likes of William Contreras and Brice Turang.

The Nats have had a ton of success on the road this year, but it has been a different story at home. They will look to change that against the Brewers, a team they swept on the road. It will be tough with the Miz on the mound, but this offense has proven they can produce. Follow along in the comments down below and let’s go Nats!
