 but the Nationals did not do much offensively for the second consecutive game, going back to Wednesday's loss in San Diego. So now this afternoon, the Nationals have right-hander Jake Irvin on the mound. They always feel good when Jake is out there at a great game last time out in no decision last Sunday in Colorado. The Nationals will face the veteran right-hander Aaron Savali, who the Rays acquired from Cleveland at the deadline last year. The Nationals will give Harold Ramirez a start as the DH against the right-hander Savali.
