Braves return to action Sunday with doubleheader in Washington

The Atlanta Braves will look to complete the four game sweep over the Washington Nationals in today’s doubleheader series finale. Atlanta has taken the first two games of the series by a combined score of 19-9 as the Braves’ offense has battered Washington pitching.

The Braves haven’t announced their pitching plans for the doubleheader, but it is expected that we will see Kyle Wright and Spencer Strider. Wright was originally scheduled to pitch Saturday before the game was postponed due to Tropical Storm Ophelia. Strider was originally listed to start Sunday’s game.

It has been a tough season overall for Wright, who missed four months with a shoulder injury.
