It’s a spectacular Saturday afternoon in the nation’s capital. Maybe the matchup between the Nationals and Marlins isn’t anything to get excited about, but there are surely worse places to be on such a lovely day than the ballpark, right?

The Nats look to make it two in a row (and 10 out of 12) against Miami, and they’ll hope Patrick Corbin does his part to help make that possible. The left-hander makes his 30th start of the season, his 168th start as a National. He’s probably got two more after this one, and maybe after everything he’s been through he can finish this all off with some quality performances.

The Marlins send Valente Bellozo to the mound, and the rookie right-hander was really good when he faced the Nats last week in Miami. He tossed six scoreless innings on 85 pitches, outdueling MacKenzie Gore (who had a no-hit bid going that night). The Nationals will need to put together some better at-bats today, with the top of the lineup preferably scoring early as it did each of the last two nights.
