Voth will be unavailable for a few days after throwing 62 pitches last night in 3 2/3 innings.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The Nationals won Friday night’s series opener, but it required all manner of wackiness to pull it off, especially when it came to bullpen usage in the final three innings. Davey Martinez can only hope for an easier path to victory this afternoon as his team tries to secure a series win. Josiah Gray gets the start, so that helps

Anthony Santander sits today as the Orioles resume their series against the Rangers at Camden Yards. Adley Rutschman is the designated hitter against left-hander Andrew Heaney, and Ryan McKenna is playing right field. Santander struck out twice last night and hit into a double play.
