Do the Nationals have another late-night win in them? They've already taken the first two games of this series in San Diego, piling up 15 total runs and launching five homers. Now they'll try to make it three in a row, once again facing the Padres late tonight at Petco Park.

Max Scherzer gets this start for the Nationals, looking to duplicate his dominant outing in San Diego last season, when he tossed seven scoreless innings, striking out 11. Right-hander Colin Rea takes the mound for the Padres, seeking his first win in his last seven starts.

As for the makeup of the Nats bullpen tonight, Shawn Kelley should be available to close should the situation arise. We'll see how that all plays out...
