The Nationals look to even their series with the Marlins today with a 12:35 p.m. first pitch at Nats Park. AnÃbal Sánchez gets the call, looking to build off his last start where he said he felt strong at the end of the outing, which is a good sign.
Manager Davey Martinez and pitching coach Paul Menhart have worked with Sánchez to get him to throw less between starts so he is fresher on game day.
Sánchez (0-3, 8.50) faces Marlins right-hander Humberto MejÃa (0-1, 5.68 ERA). Sánchez started his major league career in 2006 with the Marlins, going 44-45 with a 3.75 ERA in 132 starts over seven seasons.
Shortstop Trea Turner is riding an eight-game hitting streak after he singled in the fifth inning last night. During the streak, he is hitting .406 (13-for-32) with two doubles, a triple, two homers, three walks, 10 runs scored and four RBIs.
Catcher Yan Gomes is riding a seven-game hitting streak after his solo homer in the third inning last night. He finished 2-for-3. In the last week, Gomes is hitting .393 (11-for-28) with a double, a triple, two homers, seven RBIs, one walk and six runs scored.
