NEW YORK - The Nationals are on Sunday Night Baseball, looking to complete a series sweep of the Mets and head out to Colorado on a seven-game winning streak.
Max Scherzer gets the ball for this finale at Citi Field, looking forward to facing New York on the big national TV stage. Scherzer has been phenomenal against the Mets in his career, going 5-3 with a 1.83 ERA in 11 games (10 starts).
Zack Wheeler makes his first start against the Nationals since 2014, before he endured his litany of arm injuries. He'll be going up against a complete, healthy Nats lineup. Jayson Werth returns after missing three games with a minor groin injury. Adam Eaton remains in the leadoff spot, with Trea Turner second. And Ryan Zimmerman is again batting cleanup, breaking up Bryce Harper and Daniel Murphy...
