Espinosa replaces Cabrera at second base
By Dan Kolko
PHILADELPHIA - Asdrubal Cabrera, who experienced tightness in his side while swinging in yesterday's game, will not be in the starting lineup at second base when the Nationals open a three-game series against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park.
Instead, Danny Espinosa will get the nod at second base.
Washington's Tanner Roark (12-7, 2.80 ERA) faces Philadelphia's A.J. Burnett (6-14, 4.42 ERA) in a battle of right-handers.
The Nats are seeking their 13th win in 14 games.
