As the Nationals face left-hander Cliff Lee tonight in the second game of their series with the Phillies, their abundance of left-handed hitting outfielders presents a bit of a roster conundrum. They're sitting both Rick Ankiel and Laynce Nix tonight against Lee, starting Brian Bixler in left field. That moves Danny Espinosa all the way up to fifth in the lineup, with Ivan Rodriguez catching and Jerry Hairston Jr. playing third base.
Here is the Nationals' lineup (I'll post the Phillies' lineup once it's available):
Nationals:
Bernadina - CF
Desmond - SS
Werth - RF
Morse - 1B
Espinosa - 2B
Rodriguez - C
Hairston - 3B
Bixler - LF
Marquis - P
