The Braves churned through another overwhelming come-from-behind victory yesterday, bailing out another subpar pitching performance with relentless offense en route to forcing a Sunday afternoon rubber game at Nationals Park. With the Nationals using Joe Ross, who was at one time the scheduled starter for today’s game, to horrible effect (Ross allowed four runs to turn a 9-8 lead into a 12-9 deficit) last night, they’ll be turning to rookie Austin Voth in his 2019 debut to square off against fellow rookie Mike Soroka.
The Canadian right-hander finds himself in somewhat unfamiliar territory coming into his Sunday matinee outing.
