Drake Baldwin back in lineup batting fifth
Briefly

Tonight, the Atlanta Braves will face the Washington Nationals in a critical matchup featuring pitchers AJ Smith-Shawver and Trevor Williams. Previously, the Braves scored four runs against Williams while Smith-Shawver allowed only one run in his last outing. Notably, Marcell Ozuna has performed decently against Williams, but the current Braves lineup lacks strong historical success against him. Despite a struggling ERA for Williams, the Braves still have concerns about facing a pitcher multiple times in quick succession. The game will see rookie Robert Hassell III debuting for the Nationals, adding more intrigue.
The Braves have a favorable matchup against the Nationals' Trevor Williams, who has a high ERA, yet past performance suggests unpredictability in repeated matchups.
Though AJ Smith-Shawver has limited experience against Nationals players, his recent performance shows promise, allowing only two hits in his last outing.
