Game 133 lineups: Nats vs. Yankees

The hubbub of Monday night is gone, but that doesn’t mean there won’t still be juice in the ballpark tonight. The Yankees are still here, Juan Soto and Aaron Judge are still here, Dylan Crews and James Wood are still here and there’s a juicy (if lopsided, on paper) pitching matchup on tap as well.

Patrick Corbin vs. Gerrit Cole. The guy who did pitch in relief in Game 7 of the 2019 World Series vs. the guy who did not pitch in relief in Game 7 of the 2019 World Series. The guys whose careers have taken wildly different paths since that night.

Corbin is really facing a gantlet tonight in the Yankees lineup, though for whatever it’s worth he tossed a quality start last summer in the Bronx, allowing three runs over six innings to earn the win. Judge and Gleyber Torres each homered, but that’s all Corbin gave up during that game. It’s also worth noting he allowed one run over six innings to the Rockies last time out, earning career win No. 100.

Cole, meanwhile, seems to have found his groove after spending the season’s first 2 1/2 months on the injured list. He enters this one on a 12-inning scoreless streak, having shut out the Tigers and Guardians. He’ll be going up against a very young Nats lineup that now features Crews, Wood and CJ Abrams.
