Nationals' lineup for series opener with Orioles + Danny Espinosa injury update

The Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles start their three-game set tonight in the nation's capital after last night's matchup was postponed. Matt Williams talked rotation going forward today, and updated reporters on Danny Espinosa.

Washington's win over the Miami Marlins on Sunday was their third straight win, and the Nationals' seventh in the last ten, but as hard as they've fought, they still remained 6.0 games in the NL East after the game, and fell to 6.5 after the New York Mets' win on Monday over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Nats' skipper Matt WIlliams told reporters after the win in the series finale with the Fish that he was proud of the way his team has continued to fight in spite of the odds against them and the hole they're in.
