Game 128 lineups: Nats vs. Mets

Who's ready for the third Sunday day-night doubleheader at Nationals Park in five weeks? (Don't all jump at once.)

The Nationals have gotten used to this by now, having already played two against the Rockies on July 30, then two against the Giants on Aug. 13. Now they'll play two against the Mets, with the regularly scheduled opener at 1:35 p.m. and then the makeup for an earlier rainout at 8:08 p.m.

Erick Fedde is getting called up from Triple-A Syracuse to serve as the official 26th man for the doubleheader and start Game 1. The rookie right-hander makes his third major league start, hoping to build off his previous outings against the Rockies and Cubs, with a seemingly more favorable matchup this time around.

Former Nationals prospect Tommy Milone starts for the injury-ravaged Mets. The left-hander (a key piece in the December 2011 trade with the Athletics for Gio Gonzalez) has bounced around four different organizations in the last three years and makes his fifth start for New York, having gone 0-3 with a 10.26 ERA to date.
