Coming off a series win against the Brewers, the Fish will face the Nationals who were just swept by the NL East division leader the New York Mets. Before facing the Mets the Nationals still had a chance to take the NL East but are now 7.5 games back. Tonight Jarred Cosart will face Gio Gonzalez on the mound.
