The Atlanta Braves bounced back from a disappointing loss Saturday night to beat the Nationals 5-4 on Sunday.

After the disheartening way that Saturday’s game ended, it was extremely important that the Atlanta Braves came out on Sunday and regained some of the momentum that they had built up during their recent four-game winning steak.

And as the old saying goes, in baseball, momentum is only as good as the next day’s starting pitcher.
