Follow along as the Nationals start their series against a veteran Phillies team
The Washington Nationals split their series against the Mets, winning two thrillers and losing in two stinkers. Now it is time for more divisional play as the Nats take on the Phillies in their first trip to Citizens Bank Park of the season.
It will be best on best as MacKenzie Gore takes on Zack Wheeler in a rematch of their Opening Day duel. The Nationals lineup will be very similar to the one they put out on Opening Day. The only alteration is Jose Tena, who is in for the injured Paul DeJong. Despite his hot bat, Alex Call is out of the lineup in favor of the all glove no bat Jacob Young.

Three former Nats will start things off, as Trea Turner, Bryce Harper, and Kyle Schwarber make up the top of the Phillies lineup. There are a lot of familiar names in this lineup. However, the bottom three of Edmundo Sosa, Weston Wilson and Johan Rojas is not as star studded.
