The slumping Atlanta Braves hope they can spoil the Nationals’ current five game winning streak and knock around young phenom Stephen Strasburg. While Strasburg has yet to post a decision in his first three starts after returning to the Majors from Tommy John surgery, he has been dominant, allowing only two Earned Runs in 14 innings, for a miniscule 1.29 ERA. Fortunately, for Braves fans, Atlanta will send Nats slayer, Tim Hudson (15-10, 3.19 ERA) to the hill tonight. Hudson is 3-1 with a 2.16 ERA in four starts against the Washington his season. Check out Hudson’s success against the Nationals in 2011.
