Rookie showdown: Gilbert aims for first hit; Lord takes mound in Nationals-Giants clash.

In the upcoming Nationals-Giants series, rookies will play a significant role, with the Giants hoping for a second consecutive win. Drew Gilbert, a rookie outfielder, will look to get his first major league hit after going hitless in his debut but making a standout diving catch.
