The lineups are in for tonightâs finale of a two-game set here in Washington between Oliver Perez and the Nationalsâ Shawn Hill. Brian Schneider, who is being hospitalized overnight in New York with an infected left thumb, is the only name missing from the lineup that claimed a 7-2 win Wednesday night in support of Johan Santana.
Other than that, Willie Randolph is sticking with Luis Castillo in the No. 2 hole and Carlos Delgadoâs demotion one spot to sixth in the order.
