Get ready for some Washington Nationals baseball on YouTube as the exclusive TV for this game tonight. This is a quick two-game series against the team from Toronto, and the Nats faced the Blue Jays earlier in the season in Dunedin, Florida when things were very different for the Nats. The teams split that two-game series that the Nats played without Juan Soto. The starting rightfielder was Hernan Perez.
The Nats will have Erick Fedde on the mound tonight against the Blue Jays, and he faced the Blue Jays earlier this season in Dunedin. Fedde won that game throwing a 1-run gem over 6.0 innings back in April.
The Blue Jays have top rookie pitcher, Alek Manoah, on the mound tonight. The 23-year-old was drafted in the first round of 2019 at the same pick at № 11 that the Nats snagged Brady House this year. Manoah came out of the same draft class as Jackson Rutledge who the Nats chose in the first round. Toronto was in need of pitching and didn’t hesitate to bring up Manoah who debuted on May 27. He is 5-1 with a 2.59 ERA and an impressive 1.02 WHIP.
