The Atlanta Braves will try to make it two straight wins Friday night when they continue a four-game series against the Washington Nationals. The Braves homered three more times in Thursday’s series opener to come away with a 5-4 win. Atlanta has hit 142 home runs this season when leads the National League and trails only the New York Yankees who have 150.
Ian Anderson will get the start for the Braves Friday and will be looking to head into the All-Star break on a positive note. Friday’s start will be a rematch for Anderson who faced the Nationals last weekend and allowed two hits, four walks and two runs in 5 1/3 innings.
