Scott Olsen
And the Nationals will send Scott Olsen to the mound for tonight's game. Olsen started the game that finished up yesterday, getting a No Decision on May 5 when he gave up 5ER in 5IP. Olsen comes into the game with a 6.04 ERA, but just came off his longest outing of the year, and maybe his strongest start since April 18, but he has been injured recently, pitching just twice since May 16.
