Leading today’s Morning Briefing: Nats begin series against the Reds
Tonight Patrick Corbin takes the hill against RHP Graham Ashcraft and the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds lineup features the same cast of hitters that the Nats faced in their previous 4th of July matchup. Ashcraft is a groundball pitcher who tends to be a bit streaky.
The game begins tonight at 6:40 p.m. on MASN2.
