The Atlanta Braves will get a brief chance to look back fondly on their 2021 season Monday. Then they will return to the task at hand.
After visiting the White House on Monday morning to celebrate their 2021 World Series title, the Braves begin a three-game series against the Washington Nationals.
The Braves (95-58) trail the first-place Mets by 1 1/2 games in the National League East, and those two teams will meet for three games this weekend in Atlanta.
After dropping the first two games at Philadelphia, Atlanta rallied for a series split capped by a wild, rain-delayed, 8-7 win in 11 innings on Sunday in which the Braves squandered two leads, rallied for the tie and then won it.
