Washington Nationals vs. Chicago White Sox Probable Pitchers
- Washington Nationals: Miles Mikolas

- Time: 7:40 PM ET
Mikolas will slide back into the rotation after being used as a bulk reliever in his last two appearances.

Kirby has been giving up a lot of hits, but has been limiting the damage. Despite allowing 14 hits, he’s only allowed three runs to cross in his last two starts. Pallante, despite being a groundball pitcher, is currently inducing them at the lowest rate of his career at 51%.
