Tanner Roark could start Game 5 of NLDS for Nationals

Washington Nationals manager Dusty Baker hinted Wednesday that starting pitcher Tanner Roark could start a potential NLDS Game 5 against the Chicago Cubs.

Stephen Strasburg will have to help get the Nats to a Game 5 in the postponed Game 4 on Wednesday. It would be a quick turnaround for both teams if Washington is able to win on Wednesday, with Game 5 scheduled for Thursday night in Washington.
