It's the rare "straight through doubleheader" as opposed to the usual "day-night" doubleheader, so it will be a fun chance for fans to see two games in a more timely manner. The second begins between 30-45 minutes after the first game ends. The two games are tentatively scheduled for 4:40 p.m. ET and 8:10 p.m. ET.
While sometimes, team's will call up a "27th-man" to make a start in a doubleheader, both teams are going with traditional starting pitchers in both matchups.
In Game 1, the Nationals will go with right-hander Trevor Williams, who is 4-0 with a 1.96 ERA. The White Sox will counter with Chris Flexen, who is 2-3 with a 4.29 ERA... he could be a hot name near the trade deadline.
In Game 2, the Nationals will send lefty Mitchell Parker to the bump. He's 2-1 with a 2.67 ERA. The White Sox will counter with former Nationals' righty Erick Fedde, who has gone 3-0 with a 3.00 ERA after his own return from Korea.
