It may be hard to remember that the Chicago White Sox sat atop the American League not that long ago, but the team is just trying to keep their heads above water at this point. The ChiSox have gone just 6-18 since May 10 with losing streaks of seven, four and three games. The White Sox kick off a three-game set with the Washington Nationals Tuesday.
- The Nationals are 4-0 in their past four games against the White Sox.
- The White Sox are 9-1 in their past 10 games following consecutive home losses.
- Ryan Zimmerman is expected to be in the lineup after being activated from paternity leave.
The ChiSox will send Mat Latos to the mound, who has cooled off considerably after a hot start. Latos posted a 6.41 record through the month of May after putting up a stellar 1.84 ERA in the first month of the season.
Joe Ross will get the starts for the Nationals in the hopes of continuing his stellar play on the road. Ross has posted a 1.54 ERA while allowing just six earned runs in six road starts this season.
