After losing the series opener, the Braves responded with an impressive 2-0 win last night. Braves starting pitcher Max Fried had another great outing, as he did not allow a run through eight innings of work. This performance lowered his ERA to 2.97, making him the third starting pitcher for Atlanta with a sub 3.00 ERA.

Although Atlanta has pitched well this season, they are still looking for a definitive fifth starter in their pitching rotation. So, the Braves are giving 23 year-old Spencer Schwellenbach an opportunity to make his MLB debut on the bump tonight. Depending on Schwellenbach’s performance, he could earn a permanent spot on the team.

In order to assist their rookie starting pitcher, Atlanta will need to perform well offensively tonight. Designated hitter Marcell Ozuna hit his 16th home run this season during yesterday’s victory, but the team only scored two runs. So, the Braves will need other players to step up and help Ozuna at the plate.

The Nationals enter tonight’s game with a 24-29 record, so they are looking to bounce back with a win this evening.

Although they did not score last night, Washington ended the game with more hits than the Braves. So, the Nationals were finding some success at the plate, but they could not convert on any of their RBI opportunities.

Two Washington players combined for five hits yesterday, shortstop CJ Abrams and first baseman Joey Meneses. However, the remaining Washington players only had two hits, which led to yesterday’s shutout.
