The focus in today's series finale against the Dodgers is rightfully on the pitchers. Today's impressive matchup pits National League ERA leader Zack Greinke of the Dodgers against Nationals ace Max Scherzer in a battle of right-handers.

But the batters will have a say in whether either pitcher is successful, so here are today's lineups:

For the Dodgers:
CF Joc Pederson
2B Howie Kendrick
1B Adrian Gonzalez
LF Andre Ethier
C Yasmani Grandal
RF Yasiel Puig
3B Alberto Callaspo
SS Jimmy Rollins
RHP Zack Greinke

For the Nationals:
3B Yunel Escobar
2B Danny Espinosa
RF Bryce Harper
1B Clint Robinson
C Wilson Ramos
LF Matt den Dekker
SS Ian Desmond
CF Michael A. Taylor
RHP Max Scherzer

The Nationals announced this morning that first baseman Ryan Zimmerman, who is on the 15-day disabled list with plantar fasciitis in his left foot, will begin a minor league rehabilitation assignment today with Double-A Harrisburg. The Senators play at nearby Bowie this afternoon before opening a homestand against New Hampshire tomorrow at Metro Bank Park.
