Braves draw NL East rival Nationals next

Field Level Media

The defending World Series champions continue their season-opening seven-game homestand with their first series against a division rival.

The Atlanta Braves host the Washington Nationals in the first of three games after splitting four games with the Cincinnati Reds.

In his first four games with the Braves, Matt Olson has paid immediate dividends with eight hits, including a pair of three-hit performances. He also belted his first home run on Sunday.

The Braves will send right-hander Huascar Ynoa (4-6, 4.05 ERA in 2021) to the mound in his first start of 2022.
