Nats lineup vs. Rays rookie Chris Archer
By Dan Kolko
In his first major league start, Rays right-hander Chris Archer will get tossed right into a potentially volatile situation.
After last night's GloveGate, tensions might be high tonight as the Nationals and Rays meet up in game two of this three-game series.
Archer was called up from Triple-A to start tonight after Tampa Bay's original starter, Jeremy Hellickson, was scratched because of a shoulder injury. The 23-year-old Archer came over to the Rays in the Matt Garza deal, and has posted a 4-8 record with a 4.81 ERA at Triple-A Durham this year.
Here's the Nats' lineup against Archer:
LF Steve Lombardozzi
CF Bryce Harper
3B Ryan Zimmerman
1B Adam LaRoche
RF Michael Morse
SS Ian Desmond
2B Danny Espinosa
C Jesus Flores
P Stephen Strasburg
