Overview

  • Tampa Bay opens a three-game set in Washington on Friday, entering at 64-69 against the Nationals at 53-80.
  • Probables for Game 1 are Rays right-hander Adrian Houser and Nationals left-hander Mitchell Parker.
  • Houser has allowed 13 earned runs over 22 innings in his first four starts for Tampa Bay after a trade from the White Sox.
  • Parker went 0-4 with a 12.00 ERA in five August starts, giving up 30 hits and seven homers across 21 innings.
  • Washington rides a five-game skid and lists backup catcher Drew Millas day-to-day with a fractured and dislocated left second finger, while young hitters James Wood and C.J. Abrams remain bright spots.
