Braves LHP James looks for second win in as many starts

Apr 11, 2007 - 2:13 PM Washington (1-7) at Atlanta (6-1) 7:35 pm EDT

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- The Atlanta Braves are off to a fast start in their bid to reclaim the National League East title.

Chuck James seeks his second win in as many starts when he faces the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night.

James (1-0, 1.80 ERA) allowed just one run in five innings last Thursday at Philadelphia.

The 25-year-old lefthander will be looking to match Tim Hudson's strong outing in the first game of the series on Tuesday. Hudson pitched seven scoreless innings, allowing three hits and striking out seven, in an 8-0 victory.

It was the sixth win in seven games for the Braves, who won 14 consecutive division titles before finishing third in the NL East last season.

The Nationals will counter with Jerome Williams (0-1, 6.00). The 25-year-old righthander got roughed up in his first start last Friday, surrendering five runs- four earned - and six hits in six innings.

Jeff Francoeur homered and drove in five runs and Andruw Jones hit his first homer of the season in Tuesday's win for Atlanta.
