The Nationals will play only two more games before their 2011 interleague schedule begins in Baltimore, which means they will need to choose a designated hitter. The “leading candidate,” Manager Jim Riggleman said, is Matt Stairs, who this season is 2 for 21 with six walks and eight strikeouts.
The Orioles have not finalized their starters for the weekend series, but chances are they will throw three right-handed pitchers at the Nationals. Left-handed phenom Zach Britton would have pitched Sunday’s game, but the Orioles were rained out yesterday and he will pitch tonight for the Orioles instead, meaning he’ll miss the Nationals.
