Frandsen playing second, Zimmerman DHing, Espinosa sits
By Dan Kolko
BALTIMORE - While the Orioles are throwing left-hander Wei-Yin Chen tonight and that would seemingly be a chance to get Danny Espinosa - who hits lefties well - another start, manager Matt Williams is going another route.
Kevin Frandsen will start at second base today, with Espinosa returning to the bench after getting the start last night.
Ryan Zimmerman will again DH tonight, and Anthony Rendon will play third base for the second straight game.
Gio Gonzalez gets the ball for the Nats, looking to continue his stretch of 22 straight scoreless innings.
