A pair of NL East rivals continue their weekend series on the diamond looking to pick up a win in Hotlanta. The Washington Nationals are on the road as they log the middle game of a three-game series with the Atlanta Braves Saturday afternoon. Washington dropped both games of their shortened three-game set with the Diamondbacks at home, falling 6-2 Wednesday night. The Nationals were slated to close their series Thursday but had the game postponed due to air quality issues stemming from the wildfires in Canada.
