As promised, Harper hitting seventh in his debut

I'm not going to lie, it was a little strange typing Bryce Harper into the lineup that you see below. I'm still not used to the 19-year-old phenom being in the Nationals' batting order, and I'm probably not the only one. Harper will bat seventh and play left field in his major league debut tonight, and he'll take his hacks off Dodgers righty Chad Billingsley, who is 2-0 with a 3.04 ERA so far this season. The Nationals will send Stephen Strasburg to the hill, as he looks to notch his third win on the season. Here are tonight's lineups: Nationals SS Ian Desmond SS 3B Steve Lombardozzi RF Jayson Werth 1B Adam LaRoche CF Rick Ankiel 2B Danny Espinosa LF Bryce Harper C Wilson Ramos P Stephen Strasburg Dodgers SS Dee Gordon LF Tony Gwynn Jr. CF Matt Kemp RF Andre Ethier 2B Jerry Hairston Jr. 1B James Loney 3B Juan Uribe C A.J. Ellis P Chad Billingsley
