⚾️⚾️ The Morning Briefing: Nats begin series against Red Sox

Good Morning Washington Nationals Fan,

Here are the latest headlines and analyses around the Washington Nationals and Major League Baseball for today, August 15th. My name is Haden Raymer. The Nationals begin a series against the Boston Red Sox. Let’s talk about it.

Leading today’s Morning Briefing: Nationals begin series against Boston

The Nationals are set to take on the Boston Red Sox for a three game set. Tonight Josiah Gray will take on RHP Nick Pivetta at 7:05 p.m. Pivetta has been used as a swingman this year, appearing in 28 games and starting in 10, while having a 4.28 ERA.

Tomorrow at 7:05 p.m., MacKenzie Gore will face off against LHP James Paxton. Paxton has had a tough time staying on the mound the past few years, but this he’s been mostly healthy, posting a 3.36 ERA in 15 starts.

Then on Thursday at 4:05 p.m., Patrick Corbin will take on LHP Chris Sale. If this was 2019 this would be a must-see matchup, but with Corbin’s regression since then and Sale’s constant injuries, neither look like the pitcher they were back then.
