7* Play on WASHINGTON

This is a situation where the Nationals should roll. They beat the White Sox on Tuesday, 9-5, which was their third consecutive victory overall. It wasn't necessarily easy as on his way to career win #100, Stephen Strasburg spotted Chicago an early 9-0 lead. But Strasburg was picked up by his offense and the Sox didn't score again after the 2nd inning. Wednesday starter Anibal Sanchez hasn't needed much help from the Nationals hitters of late as he is off what could easily be called his best start of the season so far. Retiring the first 16 batters that he saw, Sanchez allowed only one hit in six innings against his former team (Atlanta). He now has a 2.53 ERA his last five starts overall. Dylan Covey goes here for the visitors. While he too looked good the last time he pitched, before that was a very different story. Covey had gone 0-10 in 14 starts dating back to last season. With last night's loss the White Sox fell to a horrible 6-22 their last 28 games in National League stadiums. Remember there's no DH for them. Play on WASHINGTON
