Over .500 for the first time this season, the Nationals will look to keep their good fortune going on Mother’s Day in a Sunday afternoon matchup to close their weekend series with the Atlanta Braves. Sunday will also mark the end of their recent homestand, as up next is a trip west to play the Arizona Diamondbacks and then the San Diego Padres.
Jordan Zimmermann (2-2, 4.15) will look to carry over his recent success, as the right-hander has a 2.73 ERA over his last four starts. He saw the Braves two starts ago on April 29 and gave up three earned runs in seven innings of work.
