With Lovelady opening, Marlins have put Hernandez at leadoff and dropped Hicks down in the lineup. Hernandez of course homered off Lovelady yesterday.

Nats go with a routine lineup against RHP, with Vivas playing 2nd instead of Nunez. Crews controls right and Lile DHs. Mead breaks up a string of 4 lefties by hitting 3rd.

After a bad start of the year, Mikolas had a respectable May: 23 IP, 93  batters faced, 2.74 ERA, 3 HR, 3 BB, 13 K, .227 / .247 / .386 against

Does Mead look good enough to trade Brady House?

Apparently the secret is to have the pitcher challenge

Issuing three walks in an inning usually doesn’t end well.

I hated seeing this series with the momentum we had.  Marlins at home...not good for Nats fans.

What an ominous sign. This is like early April. Mikolas still sucks and Lovelace can’t throw strikes. Is this the start of a losing streak that will put us below .500 for the remainder of the season. It was fun while it lasted

57 pitches so far for Mikolas... hopefully he won't come back for the 6th

Mikolas worked fast to give up four runs.
