NEW YORK - And we're back. It's been a very odd schedule to begin this season, with three days off already. But now the Nationals finally get into a consistent routine, with five consecutive game days beginning this afternoon at Citi Field.

The Nats will look to make it three in a row and get over the .500 mark for the first time this season. They'll have Patrick Corbin on the mound to make his second start, each of them against the Mets. The new lefty was solid his debut Sunday afternoon, a performance that got lost a little bit with the craziness that happened at the end of the game. We'll see if he sticks with the same game plan or changes anything up in his second outing against New York.

The Nationals lineup gets its first look of the season at Steven Matz, but this group saw him plenty last year. Matz made six starts against the Nats in 2018 and went 0-3 with a 5.88 ERA.
