Washington Nationals: Nats Host Braves in Colossal Series

After a sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies, the Washington Nationals surpassed the New York Mets in the National League East standings.

While it is a small milestone, it is a necessary one.

The Nats took care of their business against the second-place Phillies, sweeping them out of Washington D.C. The Nats have now won seven of eleven against the Phillies this season.

Next, the Nats turn their sights to the division leaders: The Atlanta Braves.

The Nats swept a two-game series down in Atlanta at the end of May and will attempt to hold home-field advantage this weekend.
