Danny Espinosa returned to the lineup after his first and only day off of the season thus far and will have another new face behind him in right field as Roger Bernadina gets his first start since being recalled. Jayson Werth moves to center field again.
Nationals left-hander Tom Milone will make his major league debut today, standing on the mound at Nationals Park as the fourth member of the Nationals’ 2008 draft to make it to the major leagues.
