(MLB.com Washington Nationals)

The Nationals get a first-hand look at one of the National League Cy Young Award frontrunners when they face Jacob deGrom and the Mets tonight at 7:05 p.m. ET. deGrom leads the Majors with a 1.78 ERA, and the Nats will try to break his Major League record of 27 consecutive starts of giving up three or fewer runs. Joe Ross will be the opposing pitcher, making his second start this year since returning from Tommy John surgery.
