Although Joe Ross has not pitched well of late, the right-hander for Washington has a lower ERA at 4.26 than does Arizona starter Luke Weaver at 5.00. Weaver was hit hard by Washington on April 17th allowing four runs on eight hits and only four innings of work. Arizona has been hit hard by injuries. The Diamondbacks are without top hitters Kole Calhoun, Ketel Marte, and Christian Walker. Washington has the seventh-best team batting average .245 and will tee off on Weaver early and often as they showed in their 17 -2 win last night putting up 22 hits in the game.
