Lineups: Harper Sits, Nats Aim For Third Straight Win Against Padres
By Andrew Flax
As the Nats look to claim the third of four games against the San Diego Padres today, Bryce Harper will not be playing. His left knee is troubling him more, and he may miss tomorrow’s series finale in order to be ready for the team’s next series in San Francisco. On the mound tonight will be MLB wins leader Jordan Zimmermann (7-1, 1.69). He is the only NL starter with seven wins, while two AL starters have met that mark. Opposing him in his quest to stand alone atop the wins rankings is Padres starter Eric Stults (3-3, 4.57). Here are tonight’s lineups:
