Game 136 lineups: Nats at Mets

NEW YORK - So, about that massive hurricane that was supposed to wreak havoc with tonight's series finale at Citi Field ... yeah, that was a whole lotta nothing. As I type this from the press box, staring out at the stadium, there isn't a cloud in the sky. There's a bit of a breeze, but hardly anything of consequence.

In other words, the Nationals and Mets will be perfectly good to go tonight on Sunday Night Baseball. This is the Nats' lone Sunday night appearance of the season, which is surprising given both their collective success and their individual star power. I can assure you, however, that few with the team (or among the beat writers) are complaining. Sunday night games are no fun for anyone.

After splitting the games the last two nights, this will be the rubber game of the weekend, with a pair of rookie right-handers dueling on national TV. It's Reynaldo Lopez, officially recalled from Triple-A Syracuse, making his sixth career start for the Nationals. And it's Seth Lugo (a 26-year-old rookie) making his four career start (13th career appearance) for the Mets...
