Can you believe the Washington Nationals are now at the halfway point of the season? Tanner Roark will get the honor of pitching for the Nats in an early evening 6:05pm game on ‘Fireworks’ night. Bombs were bursting in air last night compliments of Ryan Zimmerman and Danny Espinosa.
The Nationals will face Anthony DeSclafani who has only 4 starts this season. His last start was an 8 inning shutout gem against the Padres. Roark has chiseled a few gems himself this season. The Nats want to continue their winning streak, and Tanner was the pitcher who started it on Sunday.
As far as the weather goes, here is what the Capital Weather Gang thinks:
Nationals vs. Reds weather forecast: Chance of passing raindrops: It’s muggy and maybe rainy at some point. https://t.co/Xh2bNLowWB
