Nats chasing eighth straight series win (with lineups)
By Josh Land
The Nationals go for an eighth consecutive series win today against the Phillies. It figures to be a tall test though as Philadelphia starts 6-foot-7 righty Aaron Harang. Harang owns the majors' fifth-best ERA at 1.82, allowing just 12 runs in 59 1/3 innings this season.
Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg has left stars Chase Utley and Ryan Howard off his lineup card with left-hander Gio Gonzalez throwing for the Nats today. Gonzalez has been inconsistent throughout his first nine starts. In his last two outings, Gonzalez has surrendered 11 earned runs in 10 innings.
