Final Lineups
Washington Nationals @ Colorado Rockies · Monday, Jul 20, 2026
Washington has a bit of prior exposure to Kyle Freeland, though most of it is limited. CJ Abrams is 1-for-5 against him with a .200 average and .400 OPS, while Dylan Crews is 1-for-1 with a 1.000 average and 2.000 OPS and Jacob Young is 1-for-2 with a .500 average and 1.000 OPS. James Wood is hitless at 0-for-2 in 2 PA with a .000 OPS, Curtis Mead is hitless at 0-for-3 in 3 PA with a .000 OPS, Luis García Jr. is hitless at 0-for-3 in 3 PA with a .000 OPS, and Nasim Nuñez is hitless at 0-for-1 in 1 PA with a .000 OPS. Andrés Chaparro and Harry Ford have no MLB history vs Freeland.
Colorado has no established MLB history against Andrew Alvarez. Jake McCarthy, Kyle Karros, Cole Carrigg, Hunter Goodman, TJ Rumfield, Willi Castro, Braxton Fulford, Tyler Freeman, and Ezequiel Tovar all have no MLB history vs the left-hander.
The Nationals clearly bring more familiarity into this matchup, even if several of those samples are very small. The Rockies, by contrast, are seeing Alvarez for the first time across the board.
