Game storylines and notes

The Washington Nationals will continue their road trip tonight by kicking off a three-game series against the San Diego Padres. After this three-game series against the Padres, the Nationals will travel to Tampa Bay for an off day and three games against the Rays from June 28-30.

Tonight, the Nationals will send LHP Patrick Corbin (1-7; 5.60 ERA) to the mound and face RHP Matt Waldron (5-6; 3.46 ERA) from the Padres.

Last time out.

The Washington Nationals scored two runs in the ninth to beat the Rockies, 2-1, for their MLB-leading 22nd comeback win of the season yesterday. RHP Jake Irvin struck out ten and allowed just one run over 6.0 innings, Kyle Finnegan locked down his 22nd save of the season, and Joey Meneses drove in the game-winning run with two outs in the ninth.

WILD CARD WATCH.

Entering tonight’s game, the Washington Nationals are half a game behind the San Diego Padres for the last NL Wildcard spot.
