Washington Nationals vs Atlanta Braves Game Thread
· Yahoo Sports
These last two losses have been agonizingly close to being wins for the Nats. They will have to get back on the horse in Atlanta and look to overcome last night’s draining defeat. The offense has been a little quiet these past couple of games, so hopefully the boys can start raking again.

Blake Butera is making a few changes to the lineup. Jorbit Vivas and Jose Tena will both be back in the lineup today. Dylan Crews will move to center and James Wood will play right field. Keibert Ruiz will be back behind the plate, as he looks to keep up his hot hitting. With a taxed bullpen, Jake Irvin needs to give the Nats length this afternoon.

The Braves are making a couple changes as well. Michael Harris II will move up to the 2 spot. Mike Yastrzemski and walk off hero Chadwick Tromp will both make their first starts of the series. Mauricio Dubon will move from the outfield to shortstop. Grant Holmes will get the nod on the mound for the Braves.
