The Nationals return home for an extended stay at Nats Park, with the next nine games scheduled for home and four straight against the Marlins starting tonight.
It has rained all day in the D.C. area, but they are hoping it will dissipate enough to get tonight's game in. Right-hander Max Scherzer (12-5, 2.21 ERA) takes on George Mason product left-hander Chris O'Grady (2-1, 5.40 ERA).
The Nats are coming off a stirring series victory in Chicago against the defending champion Cubs, highlighted by a dramatic 9-4 comeback win Sunday, with Matt Wieters launching a game-changing grand slam to center field in the eighth.
