 Atlanta is 9-7 against the Nationals this year, needing one win this weekend to clinch the season series. The winning record comes despite having a 5.69 team ERA in the 16 games, their highest in any season all-time against the Nationals/Expos.

 Both the Braves and Nationals could set franchise single-season home run records this weekend. Atlanta's 234 homers are one shy of the record 235 they hit in 2003, while Washington is at 212 home runs, three away from the record 215 they hit two years ago.

 Ronald Acuna's 39 home runs this year are the third most all-time by a player age 21 or younger, trailing only Hall of Famers Eddie Mathews in 1953 (47) and Mel Ott in 1929 (42).

 Mike Soroka is 6-1 with a 1.44 ERA in 14 road starts this year, compared to 5-3 with a 4.18 ERA at home. That road ERA would be the lowest by any rookie hurler since ERA became an official stat in both leagues in 1913; the current mark is held by the Dodgers' Joe Black in 1952 (1.50; minimum 80 IP).

 Anthony Rendon leads the majors with a .335 batting average, and is tied with the Braves' Freddie Freeman for the MLB lead with 117 RBI. In the last 50 years, the only players to lead MLB in both categories in a season were Joe Torre with the 1971 Cardinals and Todd Helton of the 2000 Rockies.

 Max Scherzer has recorded 200+ strikeouts in eight straight seasons, the second-longest streak in MLB history behind Tom Seaver (nine straight, 1968-76).

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

Atlanta starter Max Fried looks to continue to join some pretty lofty company on Sunday when he pitches the finale of the three-game series against the Washington Nationals.
Two more wins would leave Fried (16-5, 4.02 ERA) tied with Hall of Famer Tom Glavine for the most wins by an Atlanta left-hander since 2002. His 16 are the most by a lefty in the National League this season.

Braves' Fried near history with Nationals up next

WASHINGTON (AP)  Anibal Sanchez has seen enough in 14 years in the majors to know when his team needs a lift.
He provided one Sunday, pitching seven sharp innings to help the Washington Nationals prevent a three-game sweep and beat the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves 7-0.
