In turning their season around, the Nationals have rebounded from a low point of 12 games under .500 to a high point of nine games over .500. They've had several chances to climb to 10 games over but to date haven't been able to reach that level. They'll get another chance today as they attempt to sweep the Reds.
Stephen Strasburg
The Nationals lineup gets a look at Trevor Bauer, the former Indians right-hander who was dealt to Cincinnati a couple of weeks ago. Having spent most of his career in the American League, Bauer has faced only a few Nats more than a handful of times. So most of the guys playing today won't be all that familiar with him.
