The Atlanta Braves look to build a little momentum off their walk-off win last night, and take on the Washington Nationals for the second game of their three game set this afternoon. Tommy Hanson (12-8, 4.35 ERA) takes the hill for the Braves, with Edwin Jackson (9-10, 3.85 ERA) doing the same for the Nationals. A win today would give the Braves the series win.
