With wind gusts up to 25 miles per hour and thunderstorms hitting the Washington D.C. area, Wednesday night's contest between the Nationals and New York Mets at Nationals Park might very well be postponed. If not, here are tonight's lineups for the Nats courtesy of the team's official Twitter account:
#Nats 7/18 Lineup: Lombardozzi 2B, Harper CF, Zimmerman 3B, LaRoche 1B, Morse RF, Moore LF, Espinosa SS, Flores C, Zimmermann RHP
— Washington Nationals (@Nationals) July 18, 2012
For the fourth straight day, Ian Desmond will be out of the lineup for the Nationals as he recovers from left oblique soreness. He did, though, enter Tuesday night's contest as a pinch runner.
First pitch between the Nats and Mets on Wednesday is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. EST and televised on ESPN and MASN.
