In another season spent in the National League East cellar, the visiting Washington Nationals aim for their first four-game win streak of the season and a sweep of Cincinnati Reds when they finish their three-game series Sunday.
The Nationals are playing their best baseball of the season, winning 10 of 15, including back-to-back wins against the Reds after Cincinnati swept a four-game set in Washington at the beginning of July.
TJ Friedl's three-run homer was Cincinnati's only offense Saturday, as Joan Adon opened the game with five perfect innings and retired the first 17 batters. Richardson has been one of Cincinnati's top minor league pitchers, posting an 0-2 mark with a 1.86 ERA in 19 starts. Richardson's recall was necessitated by Ben Lively landing on the injured list this week because of a right pectoral strain.
