Atlanta Braves(Chuck James)
vs.
Washington Nationals(Matt Chico)
Scouting Reports:
Nationals:
In the first seven innings on Sunday, Chico was in a pitchers' duel with San Francisco left-hander Barry Zito. They both pitched seven innings and gave up one run, but it was the Nationals who won the game, 2-1, in the bottom of the ninth inning on an RBI single by Ryan Zimmerman. The key to Chico's success on Sunday was his control; he was able to hit the corners and keep his pitches off the middle of the plate.
Braves:
James came off the disabled list on Saturday and felt no discomfort in his previously ailing left shoulder. But while allowing the Mets three earned runs in five innings, the 25 year-old southpaw was once again illed by the longball. He surrendered two homers to runs his team-high total to 27, all of which have come over the course of his past 125 1/3 innings. He is 1-1 with a 3.31 ERA in three starts against the Nationals this year.
**Also...I was wondering if we could get some people on here in the game threads during the games and we can discuss the game in there.**
