Game 72 lineups: Nats at Dodgers

LOS ANGELES - It is a full 20 degrees cooler this afternoon at Dodger Stadium than it was yesterday at this time. Which means it's only in the mid-80s. Still remarkably more comfortable for the second game of this series, which finds the Nationals trying to snap a three-game losing streak.

They'll be facing their third straight left-handed starter tonight, this time in the form of Scott Kazmir, who is no Clayton Kershaw, as evidenced by the fact he hasn't lasted more than five innings in any of his last three starts. The Nats don't have a ton of experience against Kazmir, but they have had some positive results: Jayson Werth (5-for-7, homer, four walks), Ben Revere (2-for-4), Daniel Murphy (2-for-5), Ryan Zimmerman (1-for-1, homer, walk).

Tanner Roark gets the ball for the Nationals, who pretty desperately need the right-hander to give them a good (and long) start tonight after needing six innings out of emergency starter Yusmeiro Petit last night. Roark has been very good against the Dodgers: The guys in the lineup tonight are a collective 3-for-19 against him, including Chase Utley's 1-for-10.
