 These teams have split six meetings this year -- all in Atlanta -- with both teams averaging over 6.0 runs in those games (Braves 7.0, Nationals 6.3). The Braves went 6-3 at Nationals Park last season.

 The Braves set a modern NL record (since 1900) yesterday with 29 runs scored in a 29-9 defeat of the Marlins. It was the Braves' first win by 20+ runs since a 24-4 win over the Louisville Colonels in September 1898, when the franchise was in Boston and known as the Beaneaters.

 Washington has won four of its last five games, including a two-game sweep of the Rays earlier this week. The Nats have averaged 6.8 runs over their last five games, despite hitting just one homer over that span.

 Trea Turner leads the majors with a .359 batting average. The only players in franchise history (including Expos years) to win a batting title are Al Oliver in 1982 (.331) and Tim Raines in 1986 (.334).

 Adam Duvall (9), Freddie Freeman (6) and Ronald Acuna Jr. (5) all set career highs in RBI in Wednesday's win. Duvall registered his second three-homer game in eight days, becoming the first Braves player all-time with multiple three-homer games in his career.

 Austin Voth has given up 10 home runs in 28.1 innings this year, the highest home run rate among MLB pitchers with at least 25 innings pitched (3.2 HR per 9 IP).

Juan Soto will be back in the lineup when the Washington Nationals host the Atlanta Braves in the opener of a four-game series on Thursday.
The Nationals were without the slugger when the teams met in Atlanta last weekend. Soto sat out all four games with a sore left elbow. He returned on Tuesday against Tampa Bay, went 1-for-2 and was intentionally walked in his next two plate appearances.

Hot-hitting Braves roll into D.C. to face Nationals

WASHINGTON (AP)  With Ronald Acuna Jr., Freddie Freeman and Marcell Ozuna as the top three hitters in his lineup, Braves manager Brian Snitker knows an early five-run deficit is hardly insurmountable.
Freeman homered twice, Dansby Swanson hit a go-ahead shot in the eighth inning and NL East-leading Atlanta climbed out of a 5-0 hole to beat the Washington Nationals 7-6 on Thursday night.
