Zimmermann faces Burnett, plus Phillies-Nats lineups
By Dan Kolko
In the third game of the Nationals' four-game series with the Phillies, they will be fielding the same lineup as they did for Friday night's 2-1 loss.
Asdrubal Cabrera makes his second appearance since being acquired from Cleveland on Thursday. He'll again bat seventh and play second base.
Right-hander Jordan Zimmermann is on the hill against Phillies right-hander A.J. Burnett. Zimmermann is coming off a strong start in Miami where he allowed two runs on four hits in seven innings.
That halted a brief two-start hiccup where Zimmermann had allowed four runs in consecutive outings for the first time all year.
Burnett is 10-4 with a 3.37 ERA in 20 career games (19 starts) against the Nationals. But this season, he's 2-1 with a 5.03 ERA in three starts against them.
