The Nationals (including seasons as the Montreal Expos) and Indians have split 12 previous meetings, with the last six games each played at Cleveland (2010 and 2013). The longest winning streak by either team in the series is just two games, which has been accomplished on one occasion by each club.

The Nationals are 9-3 against the American League this season, which translates to the franchise's highest winning percentage (.750) versus the AL since the Montreal Expos went 12-3 (.800) in the first year of interleague play in 1997.

The Indians lost three games at Baltimore this past weekend, when they endured their first series sweep since going 0-3 at Kansas City, June 13-15. Since ending their 14-game winning streak on July 1, the Indians are just 7-11.

Wilson Ramos went 3-for-4 on Sunday to raise his average this July to .323. Ramos, Jose Altuve and David Ortiz are the only players who have hit at least .300 in all four months this season (minimum 50 PA each month).

Gio Gonzalez is 2-1 with a 2.37 ERA and three quality starts in three appearances versus the American League this season. That's quite an improvement from his performance in interleague play between 2013 and 2015, when he went 1-6 with a 6.70 ERA over 17 starts.

Danny Salazar has won each of his last seven decisions to improve to 11-3 in 2016. The last Indian to win at least eight consecutive decisions in a single season was Cliff Lee in 2008 (11 in a row).

HP - Porter, 1B - Kellogg, 2B - Tumpane, 3B - Guccione

CLEVELAND -- The Washington Nationals and the Cleveland Indians, two first-place teams heading in opposite directions on the map but not in the standings, play each other Tuesday night at Progressive Field in the opener of a two-game series.
Thanks to the All-Star break and Cleveland hosting the Republican National Convention, the Indians haven't played a home game since July 10. The Indians have played 19 of their last 26 games on the road, but 20 of their next 25 games will be at Progressive Field.

Nationals-Indians preview

CLEVELAND (AP)  Francisco Lindor watched his hit squirt into the outfield and then danced his way down the first-base line before being engulfed by a wave of elated teammates.
Three outs from defeat, the Indians pulled out an unlikely victory that felt bigger than one win.
