Washington Nationals vs Arizona Diamondbacks game thread

With a 1-5 start, the Washington Nationals have dug themselves a hole already. With the Dodgers lurking, the Nationals need to get their season going here against the D-Backs.

The most notable change to the lineup is the inclusion of Jose Tena. Tena will get his first start of the season, giving Paul DeJong the day off. Jake Irvin will take the mound for a second time after a solid start against the Phillies.

The Diamondbacks are running out their strongest lineup, at least on paper.
