BALTIMORE - It's another beautiful day here at Camden Yards, a far cry from the heat and humidity everyone has been dealing with for weeks. The Nationals and Orioles return for the second of their four head-to-head games this week, the Nats needing a win tonight to even up the series after last night's 4-3 loss.

Reynaldo Lopez gets the start, and if the rookie pitches anything like he did his last two times out, the Nationals will like their chances. Those starts, of course, both came against the Braves. The Orioles' lineup presents a far tougher challenge, so we'll have to see how Lopez handles that.

The good news is that the Nats' bullpen is in far better shape tonight than it has been in some time. Koda Glover was the only guy used last night, so everyone else should be available to back up Lopez.
