Washington at Atlanta

Washington plays its sixth straight road game of a 10-game trip. It hasn't been going well, losing six of seven. The Nationals go with righty Jordan Zimmermann (1-2, 5.23 ERA), with the team 0-3 his last three starts. He faces an Atlanta offense that has been strong, #13 in runs scored, #11 in on base percentage and #12 in slugging. Braves lefty Alex Wood (1-0, 3.00) turned in a quality start Saturday, allowing three runs on nine hits and two walks over 6.2 innings against the Jays. The Braves are 5-2 when Wood has four days of rest, including 4-0 against the Nationals. The Nationals are also 5-11 in the last 16 meetings in Atlanta. Take Atlanta.
