Konnor Griffin is hitless against Foster Griffin, going 0-for-2 in 2 PA with a .000 OPS, and Brandon Lowe is also hitless at 0-for-3 in 3 PA with a .000 OPS. Nick Gonzales has gone 1-for-3 with a .666 OPS, while Jake Mangum has the best track record here at 2-for-3 with a 1.334 OPS. Bryan Reynolds, Esmerlyn Valdez, Ryan O'Hearn, Endy Rodríguez, and Jared Triolo have no MLB history vs this pitcher.

Washington’s lineup brings much more established history against Mitch Keller. CJ Abrams stands out at 7-for-16 with a 1.063 OPS, James Wood is 3-for-10 in 12 PA with a 1.117 OPS, and Luis García Jr. is 5-for-18 in 19 PA with a .760 OPS. Keibert Ruiz is 4-for-15 in 16 PA with a .646 OPS, while José Tena is 1-for-3 with a .666 OPS, Daylen Lile is 1-for-3 in 4 PA with an .833 OPS, and Nasim Nuñez is 2-for-4 in 5 PA with a 1.100 OPS; Dylan Crews is 1-for-7 in 8 PA with a .268 OPS, and Jorbit Vivas is 1-for-1 in 2 PA with one walk.

The Nationals clearly have the deeper bank of familiarity against the opposing starter. Pittsburgh has only a few prior matchups with Foster Griffin, and most of that lineup has no MLB history against him.
