Nats and Braves set to finish this brief two-game series at 7:10 p.m. tonight in Atlanta. Washington adds Josh Bard at catcher and Ronnie Belliard at second base. The top six stay the same. Braves are again without center fielder Nate McLouth (hamstring) so former Nat Ryan Church, normally a corner outfielder, will do his best in the middle. The Nats are facing Atlanta starter Derek Lowe (11-7, 4.15 ERA) for the fourth time this season. They have actually beaten him twice. Lowe has allowed eight earned runs on 21 hits in 14 1/3 innings against Washington.
