Phillies vs. Nationals Preview: Hittin’ The Road, Castellanos Moved to 7th

The Philadelphia Phillies hit the road for the first time this season as they travel to the nation’s capital to take on the Washington Nationals. The road trip comes at a good time for the Phillies who went 2-4 in their six games, season opening home stand.

Manager Rob Thomson made a slight change to the Phillies lineup dropping struggling right fielder Nick Castellanos to 7th in the order. The Phillies will send Aaron Nola to the mound in what they hope is a better performance than his last outing against Atlanta.
