The Nationals and Braves will play for the second series this season after the Nationals won two games in late May. The Braves are 14-4 in the month of June, best in MLB, while the Nats are 12-5, second best.

The Braves have scored at least 10 runs in five games this month and are averaging 7.39 runs per game. That's on pace for the highest scoring average by an NL team in any calendar month (minimum 15 games) since April 1962, when St. Louis scored 7.81 runs per contest.

The Nationals swept the Phillies in their last series, holding them to six runs in the three-game set. Washington's pitching staff has a 3.52 ERA in June, third best in MLB.

Anthony Rendon has played 60 games in 2019 and is batting .314 with 51 RBI. He's the sixth right-handed hitter in club history to hit at least .300 with 50+ RBI in the first 60 player-games of a season.

Freddie Freeman hit two homers in Atlanta's last series against the Mets and now has 21 on the season. He has hit 20+ homers with a .300+ batting average in four straight seasons, tied with Mike Trout for the longest active streak in MLB.

There are five MLB players currently 22 years old or younger with at least 40 RBI this year. Three of them will be playing in this series: Atlanta's Ronald Acuna Jr. (49) and Ozzie Albies (40) and Washington's Juan Soto (43).

HP - Porter, 1B - Miller, 2B - Eddings, 3B - Conroy

Anibal Sanchez landed on the injured list due to a left hamstring strain last month.
However, that stretch from May 17-28 was not a waste for the veteran right-hander, who will start for the Washington Nationals on Saturday night against the visiting Atlanta Braves.

Nats' Sanchez on rise ahead of matchup with Braves

WASHINGTON (AP)  The Atlanta Braves have had enough rallies to know they are rarely out of a game. The Washington Nationals' beleaguered bullpen has struggled enough that few leads seem safe.
A combination of the two led to the Braves' latest win Saturday.
