Pitchers:

Shawn Hill (0-1, 4.08 ERA) vs. Randy Wolf (3-4 ,4.76 ERA)

The story:

The Nats will be fatigued coming into this game but hope to stay on top in a battle of two last place teams. Ryan Zimmerman will be out of the line up for the second straight night with a sore shoulder, sadly the team’s offense usually is generated around his presence. It could be an ugly night for the Nats when you consider these factors as well as the fact that Shawn Hill may or may not still be hurting after missing his last start.

Stat of the Night:

In 14 career at bats, Aaron Boone is 3/14 with 3 K’s and only 1 BB. He is batting third in the Nationals line up tonight.

Pitchers: Cole Hamels (5-3, 2.89 ERA) vs. Jason Bergmann (1-1, 7.45 ERA)

Story:
The Nats go for three in a row as they take on the fighting Phil’s. Bergmann is coming off his best start of the season (7IP 3 H 9K) and looking to prove that it was no fluke and that his time in the minors straightened him out. He will face a proven star in Cole Hamels who will do his job as the Phillies ace and stop a three game losing skid.

Stat of the night:
Bergmann’s last start against Philadelphia was back on April 3rd, he allowed 5 earned runs in 5 innings of work.
