 The Nationals have won 13 of their last 17 while posting an NL-leading 2.72 ERA since June 25. In those 17 games since June 25, the Nats have allowed two runs or less 10 times, tied with the A's for the most in the majors.

 The Nationals' last 17 games came against the Marlins, Tigers, Royals, Phillies and Orioles. The combined .379 winning percentage of those teams -- based on their current records -- was the easiest strength of schedule since June 25. The Nats' next 17 games come against the Braves, Rockies, Dodgers and Diamondbacks -- teams with a .565 winning percentage -- the highest in MLB between July 18-August 4.

 Mike Soroka, who is scheduled to start Friday, tossed seven shutout innings in Sunday's 4-1 win at San Diego. Since losing his season debut, Soroka is 10-0 with a 2.27 ERA in his last 15 starts to become the first Braves starter to win 10 consecutive decisions since Greg Maddux in 2001.

 Stephen Strasburg, who takes the ball in the opener, has won each of his two starts against the Braves this season. Since 2000, only Cole Hamels (16) has more victories over the Braves than Strasburg's 13.

 Anthony Rendon is slashing .464/.531/.821 with two homers, four doubles, five RBI and six runs during a seven-game road hitting streak. On the season, the All-Star third baseman leads the NL in OBP (.507) and slugging percentage (1.049) when leading off an inning (min. 60 PAs).

 Josh Donaldson homered and drove in all four of Atlanta's runs in Wednesday's 5-4 loss in Milwaukee. He has five home runs in his last seven games and his seven homers this month are tied with the Dodgers' Cody Bellinger for the most in the NL while his 16 RBI lead the league.

HP - Muchlinski, 1B - Timmons, 2B - Winters, 3B - Drake

If the Washington Nationals hope to run down the Braves in the National League East, this weekend's four-game series at Atlanta's SunTrust Park might be a good time to get started.
The series between the division-leading Braves and the second-place Nationals is only the third time the clubs have met this year. The Braves won two of three when the clubs met most recently, June 21-23, in Washington. The Nationals lead the season series 3-2. The teams still have four series remaining, and they meet seven times in the final month.

Nationals, Braves ready for four-game set

ATLANTA (AP)  Washington Nationals manager Dave Martinez may have found a new pinch-hitter in his team's latest win.
Stephen Strasburg showed he can shine in the batter's box as well as on the mound.
