It’s a beautiful spring day in the nation’s capital, and everyone around here is in a good mood after Tuesday night’s 7-0 win over the Orioles. The Nationals have quietly won three of their last four as they try to creep closer to the .500 mark. A duplicate performance tonight would certainly help them get closer to that break-even point.

Davey Martinez will hope his lineup continues to rake after producing 10 extra-base hits Tuesday night. The opponent tonight is Tomoyuki Sugano, the 35-year-old Japanese rookie who enters with a 3.43 ERA in four starts but has surrendered four homers while striking out only eight batters in 21 innings. He’s going to be around the plate; it’s up to the Nats to swing at the right pitches that will lead to solid contact.

Trevor Williams starts for the Nationals, coming off his best outing of the young season (one run over five innings in a 1-0 loss to the Pirates). We know the game plan with the veteran right-hander; he has been capped at five innings every time out so far. So it’s probably going to come down to the Nats' bullpen, for better or worse. Buckle up.
