Tonight, the Washington Nationals will play game two of three against the San Francisco Giants with the first pitch at 9:45 p.m. EDT. The Nationals are planning on sending lefty Andrew Alvarez who currently has a 1-0 record and an ERA of 3.54. The Nationals will be facing right hander Adrian Houser who has a 2-5 record and a 5.49 ERA entering tonight’s matchup.

Washington rallied from a two-run deficit in the ninth inning to stun San Francisco, 4-3, just before midnight in the nation’s capital. The victory marked the Nationals’ first win of the season when trailing after eight innings.

CJ Abrams (2-for-4, 2 RBI, R) delivered the pivotal moment with a game-tying two-run single in the ninth. He then swiped second base and raced home on Daylen Lile’s walk-off hit.

On the mound, Miles Mikolas was sharp, tossing 4.2 scoreless innings while allowing just three hits and striking out two.

On Deck…
