The
Nationals scored seven runs in their first game with
Bryce Harper back in the lineup, so they aren't messing with a good thing.
Manager Matt Williams is employing the identical lineup for the second game of the Rockies series, with the only exception being right-hander
Stephen Strasburg on the mound.
Anthony Rendon is at second, Ryan Zimmerman is at third and Harper is in left.
Strasburg will be looking to bounce back from a rough start in Milwaukee, where he allowed a season-high seven runs on eight hits in 4 2/3 innings last Wednesday.
