Follow along as the Nationals look for just their second sweep of the season
After securing the series win last night, the Nats will be looking for the sweep. They only have one sweep all season, when they dismantled the Orioles. Now they will look for their second in an early afternoon showdown against the Reds.
With a lefty on the mound and the early start, Miguel Cairo will change things up in the lineup. Amed Rosario, Alex Call and Drew Millas will all get starts today. Rosario will be in the DH spot, with the red hot Josh Bell sitting. Call will replace Lile and Millas will get the start in place of Riley Adams. Michael Soroka will take the mound for the Nats.

This has been a damaging series for the Reds wild card hopes and they will look to stop the bleeding. The Reds will change things up at the bottom of their lineup. Jose Trevino, Will Benson and Santiago Espinal will all get starts as Terry Francona looks to find a spark. Lefty Nick Lodolo will toe the slab in DC.
Series finale in DC.

Even when the Nats were playing good ball in May, they often struggled to finish off sweeps. They have the first opportunity to do that in a while. The Nats have played great all around baseball this series. Comment your thoughts about the game and all things Washington Nationals down below.
