The Nats remain on the road as they take on a Reds team that has been up and down.
Cincinnati started the season red hot before going on a big losing streak. They have won their last two though, so maybe the Reds have gotten back on track. The Nats are rolling out a pretty familiar lineup.
James Wood will be in the leadoff spot as usual, with Luis Garcia Jr. hitting behind him. CJ Abrams will be in the cleanup spot, with Blake Butera liking to spread out his two biggest weapons.
Jose Tena and Keibert Ruiz will be at the bottom of the lineup. Miles Mikolas had his best start of the season last time out and will be on the bump in this one. lineupuation (lineup situation) → https://t.
