**Nationals Look to Rebound Against Red Sox After Friday Rout**
**WASHINGTON D.C. -** After a disappointing performance Friday morning, the Washington Nationals will seek a bounce-back win against the Boston Red Sox this afternoon at Nationals Park. Game time is set for 4:05 p.m. EDT.
The Nationals will rely on left-hander Mitchell Parker, who has been consistently solid in recent starts, allowing three or fewer runs in five of his last six outings. Parker has improved his early-game performance and will need to maintain that focus.

He has struggled with control, walking a career-high 4.3 batters per nine innings and surrendering a career-high 2.0 home runs per nine innings. Buehler has failed to pitch beyond the fifth inning in four of his last five starts, issuing 14 walks in his last 11 1/3 innings.
The Red Sox lineup features Nate Eaton at third base, Romy Gonzalez at second, Roman Anthony in right field, Rob Refsnyder as designated hitter, Carlos Narváez behind the plate, Trevor Story at shortstop, Jarren Duran in left field, Abraham Toro at first base, and Ceddane Rafaela in center field.
The Nationals will counter with CJ Abrams at shortstop, James Wood in left field, Luis García Jr. at second base, Nathaniel Lowe at first base, Josh Bell as designated hitter, Brady House at third base, Daylen Lile in right field, Keibert Ruiz catching, and Jacob Young in center field.
