Game 123 lineups: Nats at Phillies

PHILADELPHIA – “This one I'm going to flush.”

That was manager Davey Martinez after last night’s 13-3 loss to the Phillies. And yeah, let’s forget about that one.

The Nationals look to bounce back tonight with Patrick Corbin on the mound. There are only a handful of starts left for the veteran left-hander in a Nats uniform, so we don’t need to revisit all of the numbers. But it is worth noting he held the Phillies to four runs over six innings with six strikeouts in a tough-luck 4-0 loss on April 5. He doesn’t have a lot of success at Citizens Bank Park, however, with a 6.50 ERA in nine starts.

After struggling with Zack Wheeler last night, the Nats get a chance to face Aaron Nola tonight. The veteran right-hander is 11-6 with a 3.60 ERA on the year. He held the Nats scoreless over 5 ⅔ innings in that same April 5 game in D.C. Then he kept them to two runs in seven innings here on May 19.

Also, the Nats announced earlier this afternoon that Jordan Weems has cleared outright waivers and they have assigned him outright to Triple-A Rochester.

Tonight also kicks off the return of Players’ Weekend. After a four-season hiatus, Players’ Weekend gives players an enhanced voice and a creative outlet as they showcase their personalities with an eye toward growing the game. No, the special uniforms with nicknames on the back won’t be a part of this celebration, but players will wear special hats with their numbers emblazoned on the side in a youthful design while continuing to use customized bats and wear personalized cleats.
