The Atlanta Braves are very familiar with the Home Plate Ump calling them out with the Braves posting 215+ K's on the season. The Strikeout is one of the major factors in a four game losing streak and dropping eight of eleven overall. It seems to be HR's (35) or Strikeouts (215+) for Atlanta who are now 15-9 overall and 3-7 Last 10 after being swept by Detroit this weekend. The Braves hope to avoid the longest skid in eleven months Monday and set a Franchise Record for longest winning streak over the Nationals. Atlanta's success however will all resort back to not whiffing out at the plate and better starting pitching where Atlanta Starters have given up 31 Runs during the recent skid. Terehan is 1-0 5.48 ERA and after three poor starts is coming off his best outing of the season. Terehan checks in with a 1.57 WHIP and did give up four Earned Runs and three BB's in Washington earlier this season. Terehan seems to give up a big inning and then settles in for some quailty outs but still seems to struggle with control at times. Terehan will have to keep baserunners to a minimum tonight as he looks for a quailty start back home in Atlanta. Strasburg is 1-4 3.16 ERA and has lost a career high four starts in a row. Strasburg has given up 11 Earned Runs in 24 Innings Pitched during this time frame and has only received six runs of support to counter. Washington needs to improve on Run Support for Strasburg as LaRoche is hitless in 26 At Bats with a .135 average and desperately looking for a breakout game. Uggla is 4 for 26 a HR and four RBI's and also looks to finally get back into a hiiting zone at Turner Field. Big Bad Bryce Harper is always a threat in any plate appearance and Teheran will have to focus with the Nationals fine young player. After a toughr road skid Atlanta looks to get back to better baseball at home tonight but if Braves can't improve on their Strikeout Talley the fans will see more of It's One Two Three Strikes Your Out At The Old Ball Game.
