It's going to be a scorcher this afternoon when the Nationals and Indians wrap up their brief, two-game series with a late-afternoon start on South Capitol Street. Temperatures are going to top 90 degrees, and the humidity is off the charts, as well. So if you've got tickets, take all the necessary precautions.

After losing 3-1 last night, the Nationals will try to rediscover their lost offensive production, though they'll again have to do it with a depleted lineup. Bryce Harper is out for the third straight game, his stiff neck still a problem. So Brian Goodwin today makes his first career start in the big leagues, replacing Harper in right field.

Gio Gonzalez gets the ball for the Nats, and the left-hander will be trying to continue his recent surge. He's 3-1 with a 2.03 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP over his last six starts...
