"He's strong and he knows what to do out there," manager Mike Matheny said of Wacha. "He keeps a good focus."
Wacha waited out a 46-minute delay in the third inning before leaving with one out in the seventh, allowing three runs with eight strikeouts for St. Louis against the Cubs in his last start.
"I'm used to it," Wacha, last year's NL championship series MVP told ESPN.com. "You just have to accept it and you've got to stay focused. I tried to stay loose and just keep my mind in what I needed to do."
Besides the offensive struggles, the Nationals have been struggling in the field. The Nats also lead the majors with 20 errors after committing a season-high four Thursday.
"It's not lack of effort. It's not lack of preparation," manager Matt Williams said. "It's not lack of anything."
Gio Gonzalez (2-1, 3.50) is slated to get the ball for Washington on the mound. He allowed two runs in seven innings opposite Wacha on Sept. 24. The left-hander tossed a five-hitter in a 10-0 win in his only regular-season home meeting versus St. Louis on Aug. 31, 2012, according to ESPN.com.
