 The season series between the Braves and Nationals is tied at six wins apiece after Atlanta took two of three in the nation's capital at the end of July. The Nats are 4-2 at Atlanta this season with their starting pitchers posting a 3.48 ERA after going 4-6 with a 5.73 starting pitcher ERA there in 2018.

 After sweeping two in Toronto, the Braves have pushed their winning streak to six games, and are a major league-best 14-2 since August 17. Atlanta has allowed three runs or less 12 times in its last 16 games, and on the season, it has the NL's second-best record when holding opponents to three or fewer runs at 50-7 (.877) trailing only Washington at 50-5 (.909).

 Stephen Strasburg won his career-best 16th game Saturday with eight shutout innings against Miami, the second time in three starts he didn't allow a run. Since the start of July, he has made five starts where he has not permitted a run. The only pitcher to have more in that span with a minimum of 50 innings pitched is the Cardinals' Jack Flaherty with six.

 Max Fried, who will oppose Strasburg, has won his last six decisions and beat the White Sox on Friday for his 15th win of the season. He is the first Braves lefty with 15 wins in a season since Hall of Famer Tom Glavine had 18 victories in 2002.

 Freddie Freeman is 9-for-22 (.409) with three homers, three doubles, nine RBI and seven runs during the Braves' six-game winning streak. Freeman has been on base an NL-best 243 times as he aims to finish the season leading the NL in times on base for the third time in his career (also in 2014 and 2018).

 Anthony Rendon is 14-for-27 (.519) with three homers, 10 RBI and 11 runs in his last seven games, and has reached base safely in 20 straight games. Since August 14, he has 13 multi-hit games -- tied with the White Sox's Tim Anderson for the most in MLB.

HP - Estabrook, 1B - Dreckman, 2B - Emmel, 3B - Blakney

Two of the top pitchers in the National League will oppose each other on Sunday when the Atlanta Braves host the visiting Washington Nationals in the finale of their four-game set.
Washington will send veteran right-hander Max Scherzer (9-5, 2.60 ERA) against Atlanta rookie right-hander Mike Soroka (11-3, 2.53). They rank second and third among the ERA leaders in the National League.

Streaking Braves look to sweep Nationals

ATLANTA (AP)  Nationals ace Max Scherzer felt some relief after helping Washington end a tough four-game series with a win.
''We've been playing pretty well,'' he said. ''We lost three games. To come here and take one and avoid the sweep, that feels good.''
