LHP James looks to shut down Nationals again

Apr 16, 2007 - 1:48 PM Atlanta (8-4) at Washington (3-9) 7:05 pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- Chuck James looks to continue his impressive start against a team he dominated his last time out.

The lefthander takes the mound for the Atlanta Braves on Monday in the opener of a two-game series against the Washington Nationals.

James (2-0, 0.82 ERA) allowed just five hits in six shutout innings in a 8-4 win over Washington last Wednesday.

Jerome Williams (0-2, 4.91), who took the loss in that game, will start for the Nationals. The righthander allowed two runs and four hits in five innings in the previous meeting.

Washington's game against the New York Mets on Sunday was rained out.

Meanwhile, the Braves avoided their first three-game losing streak of the season with homers from Andruw and Chipper Jones and a solid outing from Tim Hudson in a 8-4 win over Florida on Sunday.

Atlanta took two of three games from the Nationals at Turner Field last week.
