Washington Nationals vs San Francisco Giants Analysis
Josiah Gray will make his eighth start of the season. Gray was competitive in his most recent start against the Diamondbacks, allowing three runs on seven hits over five innings while being charged with the loss. Young starter Josiah Gray has been one of the few bright spots this season as it progresses, posting an impressive 3.03 ERA and 1.34 WHIP combined with an impressive 2-5 record after 38.2 innings pitched. Gray has pitched effectively against the Giants in two of his appearances, surrendering four runs while posting a 1-0 record over 10 innings pitched.
In this game, the Nationals are wrapping up a six-game road trip. On the weekend, they struggled to avoid being swept by Arizona.
