What's new: The Braves are trying to snap an eight-game losing streak to the Nationals, including a three-game sweep at Nationals Park on June 23-25. It's a streak which began with Dan Uggla's three-run homer on April 28 to give the Nats a 13-12 come-from-behind win against his former team. The Braves are 1-8 overall against the Nationals this season, while posting a 6.58 ERA and giving up 13 home runs. The Nationals have posted a 3.18 ERA against the Braves this season while giving up only two home runs. The Braves have been outhit by the Nationals in the series .322 to .286 and outscored 64-38. Jace Peterson snapped an 0-for-17 Saturday in Pittsburgh by going 2-for-5 with a bases-clearing double and followed that with a game-winning home run in a 2-1 win over the Pirates Sunday.
