Game storylines and notes

Today, the Washington Nationals look to avoid being swept by the Arizona Diamondbacks. They will send LHP MacKenzie Gore to the mound and face right-handed pitcher RHP Zac Gallen.

After today's game in Arizona, the Nationals will fly back to the East Coast. They will enjoy a day off tomorrow before starting a 10-game homestand, including visits from the Milwaukee Brewers, San Francisco Giants, and Los Angeles Angels.

Last time out.

The Arizona Diamondbacks shut out the Washington Nationals last night 17-0. LHP Patrick Corbin started off badly and ended badly, only completing three innings; in these three innings, Corbin faced 22 batters (13-H, 11-R,10-ER, 0-BB, 3- K, and 1-HR). Also, in these three innings, Corbin registered P/S 67-46, GO/FO 3-2

Corbin only made it through 3 innings; the Nationals finished the game with three more pitchers: Eduardo Salazar, Joan Adon, and Tanner Rainey.

Ouch.
