That evened up the series and set up a rubber match this afternoon.
This is a series both teams are going to really want to grab, so this will be a hotly contested game. For the second time this series, the White Sox have a lefty opener, which made Blake Butera alter his lineup. Curtis Mead will be in the 2 spot at first base, while Luis Garcia Jr.
is lower in the order, in the 7 spot. CJ Abrams will be back in the lineup after a day off yesterday. Drew Millas will be back behind the dish.
He will be catching Foster Griffin, who has had a very good start to his Nats career. southside finale → https://t. co/iUBDqlACVs pic.
