The Washington Nationals have had six straight losing seasons since winning the 2019 World Series.
Blake Butera, the new manager of the Nationals, will look to establish a new foundation for sustained success in 2026.
The Nationals have made major changes to their front office, hiring Paul Toboni as President of Baseball Operations and Matt Borgschulte as the new hitting coach.
The Diamondbacks will look to bounce back from their recent loss and make a push for the postseason.
The game is set to start at 3:00 PM ET on Sunday, June 7, and will be available to stream on Peacock.
The game is part of the MLB Sunday Leadoff series, which features live Sunday daytime games on Peacock.
