How to Watch Dodgers vs Nationals
The National League clash starts at 4:05 pm EST and can be found on SNLA and MASN. For streamers, the game can be seen on Reddit's MLB Streams subreddit.
Dodgers Lineup
Justin Turner's three-run home run in the eighth inning gave the Dodgers the lead Friday night, and he'll look to continue swinging a hot bat Saturday. Alex Verdugo was the only Dodger with two or more hits Friday night, signaling the need for someone to step up for LA. Turner could be that guy, sporting a .295 average this year.
Stud Clayton Kershaw gets the start, hoping to increase the Dodgers lead in the NL West as far as it may go. His 2.84 ERA is impressive, and he'll look to lower it even further against Washington.
Nationals Lineup
Juan Soto returns to the lineup after going 1-for-3 with two walks in Friday night's loss. The youngster hits cleanup for Washington with a .509 slugging percentage this season. Brian Dozier is hoping Friday wasn't a fluke, as his 2-for-4 showing increased his average to .237 on the season. He'll look to string together a couple of good games to further improve on his stats.
Matt Grace takes the hill for Washington as the unconventional opener for Saturday's game. Typically in the bullpen, Grace holds an 0-2 record with a 6.23 ERA. Joe Ross will get the bulk of the work, as he auditions for the fifth spot in the starting rotation.
The Nationals sit tied with the Cubs for the top Wild Card spot, while the Dodgers have no worries in the world. Washington needs a win in a tightly-contested race.
