The Nationals hope to start an abbreviated two-game set with the Houston Astros tonight at 7:05 p.m. Statistically, the Nats match up favorably with Houston except for the wins, with Washington's win total being suppressed right now with the five blown saves.

PITCHING MATCHUP

WEATHER
The weather outside is frightful. Sorry. Lingering rain should diminish in coverage and intensity. Game time temp 58F, last pitch 57F. Chance of rain 50%.
I'll be inside at the Verizon Center, though, cheering on the Caps against the dreaded Pittsburgh Penguins.
