Adam LaRoche is back in the Nationals lineup for tonight's series finale against the Angels after sitting out Tuesday in part because of a sore quad.
Jose Lobaton is also back behind the plate after getting yesterday off.
Tonight's contest sets up to be the most notable pitching matchup of the series with Nats left-hander Gio Gonzalez taking on Angels right-hander Jered Weaver.
Gonzalez is off to a tremendous start, going 3-1 with a 2.88 ERA over his first four starts. Weaver has struggled this year after winning 113 games over the last eight seasons. He's 1-2 with a 4.74 ERA.
