Nationals Take on the Marlins in First of 3-Game Series
Sandy Alcantara and Cade Cavalli are set to start as Washington seeks to improve after a 12-17 home record.
On Monday, the Washington Nationals host the Miami Marlins at 6:45 p.m. ET to start a three-game series, with Cade Cavalli and Sandy Alcantara serving as probable starters.
Washington holds a 31-29 record overall but struggles at home with a 12-17 mark, while Miami enters with a 26-34 record and an 8-19 road performance.
Nationals slugger James Wood leads the offense with 16 home runs and 39 RBIs, while Curtis Mead has recorded four home runs over his last 10 games and Liam Hicks leads Miami with 11 home runs.
Both rosters face depth challenges due to significant injuries, with key players like Washington's Josiah Gray and Miami's Andrew Nardi currently on the 60-Day IL.
Washington hitters maintain a.325 on-base percentage, ranking ninth in MLB, while Miami's team on-base percentage sits at.318, ranking seventh in the NL.
