John Lannan, Washington’s 2005 11th round draft pick will start in his first major league game today. The Nationals face the Phillies for the final game in the series, and Lannan looks to impress. Our new #26 was having a heck of a season in the minor leagues with a 12-3 record and a 2.35 ERA over 20 games. Incidentally, Lannan is the 4th rookie pitcher to start for the Nats this year. With our starters still dropping like flies, we are excited to have Lannan on the roster. We wish him the best of luck in his debut!!
