 The Nationals snapped a four-game losing streak with a 9-4 victory over the Braves on Sunday. Washington is two and a half games clear of Chicago for the first NL Wild Card spot, although 17 of the team's final 20 games are against teams currently at .500 or better.

 Minnesota has the third-easiest remaining schedule in the majors, with its upcoming opponents combining for a .431 winning percentage. The Twins are an MLB-best 59-21 (.738) against teams currently under .500, compared to 29-34 (.460) against teams .500 or better, which ranks 13th in MLB.

 Since the All-Star break, Anthony Rendon is leading the majors in batting average (.382), while ranking second in MLB in OPS at 1.116 (Alex Bregman -- 1.132; min. 200 PA). Rendon's post-ASB OPS is on pace to be the highest in franchise history, as Vladimir Guerrero currently has the top spot with a 1.095 OPS in the second half of 2003 for the Expos (min. 200 PA).

 Mitch Garver has hit three home runs in his last two games bringing his season total to 29. Garver has only played 82 games this season -- the last catcher (based on player's primary position in season) with more home runs through 82 player games in a season was Detroit's Rudy York in 1937 (31).

 Jose Berrios has an 8.07 ERA and a .336 opponent batting average over his last six starts. Berrios has allowed 29 earned runs over this stretch, the most he has surrendered in any six-start span in his career.

 The Nationals have won five consecutive games against the Twins, their longest-active win streak against any American League opponent. Prior to winning five straight against the Twins, Washington had lost five games in a row against Minnesota from 2007-13.

Right-hander Stephen Strasburg will try for his 17th victory as the Washington Nationals attempt to even up their three-game series with the American League Central Division-leading Minnesota Twins on Wednesday night in Minneapolis.
It's only the second career start for Strasburg (16-6, 3.50 ERA) against Minnesota and his first ever at Target Field. He received a no-decision in a 2016 home start against the Twins when he allowed four runs on seven hits while striking out 10 over 7 1/3 innings.

Strasburg aims for 17th win as Nationals face Twins

MINNEAPOLIS (AP)  The Washington Nationals relied on a couple of old standbys for an important victory toward their postseason push.
The Minnesota Twins, thinned out for the moment by a long list of injuries, could use someone healthy players to lean on.
