Mike Bolsinger (4-3, 3.08) vs. Jordan Zimmermann (8-5, 3.22).
First-place battle! Second-half kickoff! Here we go!
The Dodgers have shuffled their rotation, with Bolsinger giving Kershaw a post-All-Star break blow. Expect them to flip by month's end to separate Kershaw & Greinke in the order, thus presumably giving the bullpen more recovery time.
The Nats counter with Jordan Zimmermann, who has a lot of repeating letters in his name. That's really all the info I could find on him (sorry, cutbacks in the SoSG Analytics Dept.).
The Dodgers are ahead of the Giants by 4.5 games and the Snakes by 7.5; SF and AZ play each other tonight, so look at it this way: The Dodgers will gain ground on someone by the end of the day. Optimism!
UPDATE: Game suspended due to three lighting outages possibly caused by Taylor Swift's recent concert at Nationals Park.

Puig batting 6th. Hope he spent the All-Star break healing that blister on his hand

Something is going on. I was bouncing back and forth between the game and CNN and missed whatever happened.
Lights are out
What is this, the Super Bowl?

This could be a while, if not a suspended game. The lights just aren't coming back on
Well shit...another exciting Friday night at my house!!!
Boys in the clubhouse hanging out. Bolsinger staying warmed up and is expected to continue pitching if and when game is resumed.

Still bottom 4, right? Or is my Gameday slow?!

Bolsinger lifted
Isn't that kind of weird to lift him after having him come back out after the long delay?
LIGHTS OUT AGAIN
Ugh
Mattingly having his picture taken with some fans to pass the time...
WTF. We can photograph Pluto but can't keep lights working?
^^^The part that is particularly scary is that it is the seat of our nation that can't seem to figure out how to turn the lights on...
Somewhere out there MB is blaming Obama.
I just used our Twitter handle for the first time in over a year.
Please don't banish me, Gnomes.
And another time.
Okay I gotta stop

No banishment, but I'm loling that you made a lights out joke mere minutes after I did.

Don't be dissin' Sax's comedic timing in public now.

PH homer in the 8th killed us. Let's get game two in about 30 minutes.
