PITCHING MATCHUP: Nationals LH Patrick Corbin (7-5, 3.39 ERA) vs. Braves RH Julio Teheran (5-6, 3.71)
Corbin has provided exactly what the Nationals hoped when they signed him to a six-year, $140-million deal in the offseason, entering the series fifth in the NL in strikeouts (139), seventh in WAR for pitchers (3.3) and ninth in ERA. The 29-year-old is 2-0 in his past five starts with 45 strikeouts in 34 innings, giving up only six runs with six walks in that span. Corbin, who struck out 10 in six innings against Philadelphia on Saturday after fanning 11 against Kansas City on July 7, is 5-1 with a 1.66 ERA in nine career games (seven starts) against Atlanta.
Teheran, who was pushed back from Thursday's series opener to allow rookie Kyle Wright to slot into the rotation, has rebounded nicely from a shaky end to June with two strong starts this month, giving up two earned runs across 12 innings with 12 strikeouts in a pair of no-decisions. The 28-year-old struck out six and walked one while allowing three runs (two earned) in six innings Saturday in San Diego after concluding the first half with six scoreless innings and five hits surrendered July 5 against Miami. Teheran is 6-6 with a 4.13 ERA in 21 career starts against Washington.
The Nats have won seven of the last ten meetings.
