The Atlanta Braves are aiming to bounce back in their series against the Washington Nationals. A victory would allow the Braves to maintain their streak of not losing a series, with a chance to secure an impactful series win in the four-game series on the road. However, a loss would put pressure on them to salvage a split on Thursday afternoon.
Fuentes to Start Against Littell
Didier Fuentes has been called up and will be making the start for the Braves. Zack Littell will be Fuentes’ opposite, and he has had a rocky start to the season for the Nationals.
The question is whether Fuentes can quieten the Nationals lineup, which has been causing problems recently. Another question is whether the Braves will continue to make life difficult for Littell. This game is unlikely to be uneventful.
Braves Look to Continue Streak
If the Braves can win, they’ll at least ensure that their streak of not losing series goes on through another midweek. They can then go for an impactful series win of a four-game series on the road.
Otherwise, the pressure will be on to salvage a split on Thursday afternoon.
