 Good afternoon, Ben. The Nats' hopes of a winning homestand looked rather dim Tuesday evening, but three wins in four games have them on the cusp of just that. From Thursday's pitcher's duel to yesterday's offensive explosion, they've taken multiple roads to victory. Today, rookie DJ Herz makes his seventh career start. The left-hander struck out 10 in his last outing. His counterpart, Kyle Gibson, owns an ERA of 8.31 over four career starts. Against Washington, Nationals Cardinals coming up shortly.
