The Nationals take on the Phillies and Jeremy Hellickson who is sporting a 1.54 ERA and a 1-0 record in 2 starts. The Nats will pitch Joe Ross who is coming off a very nice start himself.
All players and coaches today will be sporting the #42 jerseys in honor of Jackie Robinson with no names on the back of the jerseys. MLB has many celebrations for the Robinson legacy which includes multiple video tributes.
With Stephen Strasburg able to pitch yesterday, the Nats have now set the rotation for the weekend with Ross/Hellickson tonight, Scherzer/Nola on Saturday, and Gio/Morton on Sunday.
Line-ups (subject to change without notice):
- Michael Taylor CF
- Anthony Rendon 3B
- Bryce Harper RF
- Ryan Zimmerman 1B
- Daniel Murphy 2B
- Jayson Werth LF
- Wilson Ramos C
- Danny Espinosa SS
- Joe Ross RHP
Here is the Nats vs Jeremy Hellickson of the Phillies.
