The Washington Nationals will wrap-up their season series today with the San Francisco Giants. The Nats have already won the series and are sitting two games above .500 and looking for more.
If the season ended last night, the Nats would be in the postseason. But there are still 94 games still to play entering this afternoon’s game against San Francisco.
The Nats clinched the series win last night and now have only lost two road series this entire season. But the Nats have only had one sweep, and that was against the first place Milwaukee Brewers. In fact, the Nats have now won five consecutive road series, a feat they have not done since 2014.
Washington is going with lefty Foster Griffin and San Francisco has left-hander and former Nats’ farmhand, Robbie Ray, for the season finale between these two teams.
The Nats used four relievers last night with Brad Lord going long with 57 pitches. With no game tomorrow, Butera can probably push his bullpen a little harder if needed.
