MIAMI – After a gorgeous (and successful) weekend in Chicago, the Nationals now open a four-game series here in Miami, where we’re getting torrential rain and the environment inside loanDepot Park figures to be nothing like the environment was at Wrigley Field the last three days. No problem, the Nats just hope to keep their winning ways going, regardless of opponent or venue.
The Nationals did just sweep the Marlins at home last week before taking two of three against the Cubs, so they’re feeling very good about themselves as they prepare to open this series tonight. And the guy on the mound will be looking to continue what he did last time out against this same lineup.
Cade Cavalli tossed five innings of two-run ball vs. Miami, striking out six and earning his second career win. The right-hander now gets a chance to face the Marlins again and keep things going in the right direction. Right-hander Janson Junk, who shut out the Nationals over 5 2/3 innings back in June, takes the mound for Miami.
