KEY GAME INFORMATION
WASHINGTON:
Manager: Dusty Baker (second season)
Who's new? CF Adam Eaton, C Matt Wieters, 1B Adam Lind, LHP Enny Romero, RHP Joe Blanton
Who's gone? CF Ben Revere, C Wilson Ramos, RHP Lucas Giolito, RHP Mat Latos, LHP Sean Burnett, RHP Mark Melancon, LHP Marc Rzepczynski, RHP Yusmeiro Petit
Projected lineup: CF Adam Eaton (.284, 14 HR, 59 RBI, 14 SB with White Sox), SS Trea Turner (.342, 13, 40, 33), 2B Daniel Murphy (.347, 25, 104), RF Bryce Harper (.243, 24, 86, 21 SB), 3B Anthony Rendon (.270, 20, 85), LF Jayson Werth (.244, 21, 69), 1B Ryan Zimmerman (.218, 15, 46) or Adam Lind (.239, 20, 58 with Mariners), C Matt Wieters (.243, 17, 66 with Orioles)
Rotation: RH Max Scherzer (20-7, 2.96 ERA), RH Tanner Roark (16-10, 2.83), LH Gio Gonzalez (11-11, 4.57), RH Stephen Strasburg (15-4, 3.60), RH Joe Ross (7-5, 3.43)
Key relievers: RH Shawn Kelley (3-2, 2.64), RH Joe Blanton (7-2, 2.48), RH Blake Treinen (4-1, 2.28), LH Sammy Solis (2-4, 2.41), RH Trevor Gott (0-0, 1.50), LH Oliver Perez (2-3, 4.95), LH Enny Romero (2-0, 5.91 with Rays)
Hot spots: First base and closer. Zimmerman posted a career-low .642 OPS last season and was often spelled by left-handed hitter Clint Robinson. Now 32, Zimmerman must prove he's worthy of regular playing time. Robinson and free-agent pickup Lind are next in line. The ninth inning could be a committee job too, though it's never been the Nationals' preferred method. After Kenley Jansen spurned D.C. for less money in L.A., their choices were limited. Kelley and Blanton have never closed in a combined 20 seasons in the majors, but both were stalwart set-up men last season. Joe Nathan and his 377 career saves are also in camp on a minor-league deal.
Outlook: Trading former top prospect Lucas Giolito to the White Sox for Eaton signaled the Nationals' championship ambitions. Their five-game loss to the Dodgers last October marked the third time in five years they've fallen just short of the NLCS. Washington begins the season with some familiar weapons ' a dangerous heart of the lineup, an experienced bench and exceptional starting pitching. Eaton is a huge upgrade over Revere at the plate, but Wieters will be pressed to replace Ramos' 3.5 wins above replacement (via FanGraphs). Failing to sign a marquee closer could prove fatal if Kelley, Nathan or someone else can't hold down the ninth inning.
ARIZONA: 2016: 69-93, fourth place
Manager: Torey Lovullo (first season)
Who's new? C Chris Iannetta, C Jeff Mathis, IF/OF Daniel Descalso, RHP Taijuan Walker, RHP Fernando Rodney, RHP Tom Wilhelmsen, RHP Kevin Jepsen, RHP Tyler Jones
Who's gone? Manager Chip Hale, SS Jean Segura, IF/OF Phil Gosselin, OF Peter O'Brien, C Welington Castillo, C Tuffy Gosewich, OF Rickie Weeks Jr., RHP Daniel Hudson, LHP Edwin Escobar
Projected lineup: CF A.J. Pollock (.244, 2 HR, 4 RBI in 12 games), 3B Jake Lamb (.249, 9, 29), 1B Paul Goldschmidt (.297, 24, 95, 32 SB), RF David Peralta (.251, .4, 15), LF Yasmany Tomas (.272, 31, 83), 2B Brandon Drury (.282, 16, 53), SS Chris Owings (.277, 5, 49, 21 SB), C Chris Iannetta (.210, 7, 24 with Mariners) or Jeff Mathis (.238, 2, 15 with Marlins)
Rotation: RH Zack Greinke (13-7, 4.37 ERA), RH Taijuan Walker (8-11, 4.22), LH Robbie Ray (8-15, 4.90), LH Patrick Corbin (5-13, 5.15), RH Shelby Miller (3-12, 6.15)
Key relievers: RH Fernando Rodney (2-4, 3.44, 25/28 SV with Padres and Marlins), RH Jake Barrett (1-2, 3.49), RH Randall Delgado (5-2, 4.44), LH Andrew Chafin (0-1, 6.75), RH Kevin Jepsen (2-6, 5.98, 7/11 SV with Twins and Rays), RH Tom Wilhelmsen (2-4, 6.80 with Rangers and Mariners)
Hot spots: Rotation and catcher. The Diamondbacks' rotation was atrocious in 2016, ranking 29th in MLB in ERA. But hey, maybe it wasn't all their fault. In his first year as general manager, Mike Hazen installed a 'pitching strategist' (Dan Haren) and three new catchers (former Angels Iannetta, Mathis and Hank Conger). Meanwhile, nine of the 10 pitchers who started a game for the Diamondbacks last year remain in the organization. It's a bold experiment in how to fix a pitching staff. Iannetta and Mathis can frame all the borderline pitches they want. At some point, the onus will fall on Greinke, Ray, Miller, Corbin and newcomer Walker to perform to their potential.
Outlook: It wasn't long ago that Arizona spent $206 million to coax Greinke to defect from the Dodgers. Now the Diamondbacks feel like a team on the brink of a complete rebuild. Even without Jean Segura, who led the National League in hits, the lineup will score enough to keep Arizona competitive. But what to make of the pitching staff? The rotation beyond Greinke could be anywhere from awesome to abysmal. The ninth inning belongs to 39-year-old Rodney and, if he fails, a who's-who list of failed former closers: Wilhelmsen, Jepsen or J.J. Hoover. The farm system is in poor shape. If things get worse before they get better, Greinke could be the first player traded.
PREVIEW
Revamped Nats, D-backs open series in Arizona
 

PHOENIX -- Two and one-half months after the Washington Nationals won two of three games against the Arizona Diamondbacks, the slightly remade versions of the two postseason contenders meet again.

Arizona acquired corner outfielder J.D. Martinez in a trade with the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, a move that added a right-handed power bat to a lineup that, even with All-Star Paul Goldschmidt, has had trouble against left-handed starters. The Diamondbacks are 10-12 against lefties this season.

Washington acquired relievers Sean Doolittle and Ryan Madson from the Oakland A's on Sunday in an attempt to strengthen a bullpen that has been the worst in the majors much of the year. Nationals relievers have 14 blown saves and a major-league-worst 5.32 ERA.

Doolittle converted his first save opportunity in a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Tuesday, the latest in a handful of players who have been tried in the closer role. Shawn Kelley, Enny Romero, Matt Albers, Blake Treinen, Matt Grace and Koda Glover also have spent time in that role.

Washington (57-37) has a very comfortable 11-game lead over the Atlanta Braves in the National League East. The Nationals will start ace Max Scherzer in the first game of a three-game series at Chase Field that begins Friday.

Arizona (55-40) has not announced a starter after Patrick Corbin was moved up a day to start Thursday when scheduled starter Taijuan Walker left the team to be with his wife for the birth of their first child.

The Nationals have won six of seven, with their six-game winning streak ending when they got only one hit against Alex Meyer and two relievers in a 7-0 loss at Anaheim on Wednesday. MVP candidate Bryce Harper had the day off.

"We didn't have much of a chance," Washington manager Dusty Baker said.

That has not happened often. The Nationals have won 10 out of 13, and only the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers (66) and American League Central-leading Houston (63) have more victories.

Arizona and Colorado (56-41) are 5 1/2 games ahead of the Chicago Cubs in the race for the two NL wild-card berths. The D-backs have lost eight games in the NL West standings to the Dodgers since July 1.

The D-backs had lost eight of nine games before winning two out of three at Cincinnati this week, outscoring the Reds 26-8. Jake Lamb had two of Arizona's four homers Thursday in a 12-2 victory, and the D-backs hit seven in the series.

"It's been a little rough lately," said Lamb, who hit three-run homers in the first and ninth innings and has 22 homers this season. "It's huge to get this series and head back home with a good feeling. It started to click today."

Martinez has played only four innings since reporting to the team Wednesday, sustaining a left hand contusion when he was struck by a pitch while his hand was on the bat in his debut. X-rays were negative, and he is considered day-to-day. He had 18 hits (and six homers) in 45 plate appearances against lefties this season, although he has been relatively split-neutral the rest of his career.

"Any time that you have the ability to acquire a bat that fits in the middle of your lineup, you want to take that opportunity, given where we are and how the season has gone to date," D-backs general manager Mike Hazen said.

Scherzer, who started the All-Star Game, is 11-5 with a 2.01 ERA. He leads the majors in ERA and the NL in strikeouts (183) after leading the majors with strikeouts with 284 last season.

Scherzer pitched six scoreless innings in his most recent start, a 10-7 victory at Cincinnati on Saturday, and he threw seven scoreless innings in a 7-2 victory at St. Louis on July 2. In between, he gave up four runs in a no-decision against Atlanta, only the second time he has given up more than three earned runs in a game this season. Scherzer has allowed as many as three earned runs in only five of his 19 starts.

The Diamondbacks' first-round draft pick in 2006, Scherzer is a perfect 5-0 with a 2.41 ERA against Arizona in six career starts. He gave up one run and two hits while striking out 11 in a 4-2 victory at Nationals Park on May 4.
