WASHINGTON -- Tanner Roark will start Game 2 for the Washington Nationals in their National League Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.The game, scheduled for Sunday, was originally slated for Saturday before being rained out.?Its the spot that very likely would have gone to Stephen Strasburg, but he is out for the NLDS after hurting his pitching elbow late in the regular season. On Friday, before the Nationals 4-3 loss in Game 1, he had his first bullpen session off a mound since being sidelined.For the right-handed Roark (16-10, 2.83 ERA), the assignment announced Friday represents the latest sign of an impressive return to starting in 2016 after being relegated to the bullpen last season. Lefty Rich Hill (3-2, 1.84 ERA in six starts for L.A. after a trade from Oakland) will pitch Game 2 for the Dodgers.Emotions already are pretty high right now. ... If youre not nervous, youre not human and you dont care, I feel like, said Roark, who was told Thursday he would pitch in Game 2. So for me, being nervous is a good thing.The choice of Roark was not all that surprising, and Nationals manager Dusty Baker smiled broadly as he joked to media members before Game 1: Well, you know, we werent debating that much. We were just kind of messing with you guys, to tell you the truth.In a tweak to his batting order, Baker flipped Bryce Harper and Jayson Werth, moving up 2015 NL MVP Harper from No. 3 to No. 2 and shifting Werth from No. 2 to No. 3.I just talked to them out of respect, Baker said, but they said, Hey, Skip, whatever you want to do, and whatever you think thats best, thats what you do.Both teams officially released their 25-man NLDS rosters, and Washingtons includes only seven relievers, including three lefties. Baker said he wanted extra position players on the bench because of the possible need for pinch runners, particularly for second baseman Daniel Murphy, who last started Sept. 17 because of a strained glute muscle.Reynaldo Lopez is the only long reliever in the bullpen, while Sammy Solis, Oliver Perez and Marc Rzepczynski are the lefties; Sean Burnett is the odd man out.Infielder Wilmer Difo and outfielder?Michael Taylor?made the roster, while relievers Burnett, Matt Belisle and Yusmeiro Petit and outfielders Ben Revere and Brian Goodwin were left off.We contemplated many, many different scenarios, Baker said.The Dodgers roster had, as promised, three catchers: Carlos Ruiz, Yasmani Grandal and Austin Barnes, who can also play in the infield. L.A. also has only seven relievers.The Game 3 starting pitchers are lefty Gio Gonzalez for Washington and righty Kenta Maeda for Los Angeles.Bob Watson Astros Jersey . -- Claudio Bieler hadnt scored since early September, and not from the run of play since mid-July.

Stay out of it is the easiest thing to do. Keep your opinions. If you have your own opinion, thats fine, but keep it out of the public arena for everyone else to get involved.Weay made the roughly 200-mile trip from northern England with his daughter and her boyfriend, who wore Kaepernicks jersey, because Sunday was his day off.Were all people at the end of the day, and weve all got to keep people safe, Weay said. I may not agree with the way that (police in America have) dealt with things, but that was their call on the day. They made that decision. Theyre the ones that had that threat in front of them, and they dealt with it as they saw fit.Chris Stevens, from Lincolnshire, attended the game with several friends and also wore a Kaepernick jersey. He began paying attention to the NFL in 2012, when Kaepernick helped the 49ers get to the Super Bowl, and thus began to follow the team more closely.I would say I agree withh him to a certain extent, that black lives matter, but Im more of a stance that all lives matter, said Stevens, who equated Kaepernicks stance with that of Muhammad Ali in the 1960s.dddddddddddd But, I do agree that it does seem to be an issue with Americans.Colts cornerback Antonio Cromartie continued to show his support for the black community by kneeling and raising a fist during the singing of the national anthem. Cromartie, who began the gesture a week ago, stood up before God Save The Queen, the British national anthem, was sung.Wearing Kaepernicks jersey wasnt particularly unique in London, where the NFL is in its 10th year hosting regular-season games. Fans have typically shown up to such games supporting a variety of teams -- not just those playing in the game.Yet not everyone was aware of Kaepernicks stance. Eight sections away, six friends traveled from Stuttgart, Germany. Two of whom, Manuel Goertner and Simon Goertner, wore Kaepernick jerseys.When asked about the quarterbacks activism, the two said they had no idea Kaepernick had been instrumental in raising awareness of social issues.They were the leading team, and thats why they started to support the 49ers, especially Kaepernick, with the new way he was playing quarterback with all the running, said Steff Dreher, a friend who served as an interpreter. It was resonant with all the guys.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
