GameThread Game #118: Jays at Nats

The Jays are in Washington (the other Washington) to take on the 2019 World Series champs, who are far from a championship team this year. A sweep would be oh so sweet.

The downside is today’s game is a YouTube game.

Here are tonight’s lineups. Bichette is playing short (a good sign for his nagging shin injuries), and Dickerson will get the start in left.

Today's Lineups

Marcus Semien - 2B Victor Robles - CF
