Nats send Fister to hill against Orioles
By Dan Kolko
The Nationals send right-hander Doug Fister to the mound against the Orioles tonight, hoping for a split in the two-game D.C. portion of the Battle of the Beltways.
Fister is 3-2 with a 5.30 ERA in six lifetime starts against Baltimore. The Nats are hoping he'll pitch more in line with his 2014 numbers: a 7-2 mark with a 2.93 ERA in 11 starts.
He will face right-hander Bud Norris, who is being activated off the disabled list today after missing time with a groin issue.

RF Nick Markakis
3B Manny Machado
