Result: Loss
The Washington Nationals will look to win another one against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Nationals Park. Washington won 5-3 over the Pirates yesterday and they'll look to keep it going today. It will be right-hander Josiah Gray pitching for the Washington Nationals here. He was roughed up against the Reds in his first start of the season, allowing 7 runs in 4 innings while walking two. He is 1-1 with a 3.45 ERA and 20 strikeouts in his last 3 appearances facing the Pittsburgh Pirates. Gray is a young pitcher at just 26 with a lively arm that generates a whipping fastball. He has a cutting slider and is always looking for the strikeout. Martin Perez gets the nod in this game for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He has struggled in his career when facing the Nationals, putting up a 4.69 ERA with a 0-2 record in 4 starts. Take the Nationals to get the win at home this evening.
