Game 85 lineups: Nats vs. Mets
The Nationals are going for a sweep of the Mets tonight, but in order to pull that off they'll need not only to beat Jacob deGrom but to do it without Bryce Harper in their lineup.
Harper is getting a rare day off, only his second this season for a reason not involving minor injury or suspension. We'll find out shortly from Dusty Baker if there's anything else going on, but Harper certainly is deserving of getting a breather if that's all it is.
Brian Goodwin takes over in right field, with Adam Lind getting a start in left field. They'll hope to provide enough offense against deGrom to make life easier on Tanner Roark, who again will try to bust out of his pitching slump tonight.
