The Kansas City Royals take on the Washington Nationals in interleague action. KC snapped their losing streak by taking game one 1-0. They will look to keep the momentum going by sending Michael Lorenzen to the mound. The Nationals will counter with DJ Herz. Lorenzen is 7-6 with a 3.43 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP in 126.0 innings of work. Hertz is 4-8 with a 4.30 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP in 83.2 innings. The Nationals could not have come at a better time for a team that has been struggling. The Royals are the better team and it showed in game one. With the Nats best player being sent down as punishment there is not a lot to be worried about with this lineup. Michael Lorenzen has not pitched in a month so will be limited. The Royal’s bullpen is 12th with a 3.49 reliever ERA while the Nationals are 26th with a 4.92 bullpen ERA.
