Smoltz seeks to avenge loss against Nationals
Apr 17, 2007 - 1:15 PM Atlanta (8-4) at Washington (4-9) 7:05 pm EDTWASHINGTON (Ticker) -- John Smoltz seeks to avenge a loss against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday when the Atlanta Braves complete a two-game series.
The Nationals got a pair of eighth-inning RBI singles off Smoltz last Thursday in a 2-0 win at Atlanta.
Smoltz (1-1, 3.15 ERA) will try to keep the Nationals from extending their first winning streak of the season. Matt Chico allowed one run in five innings and Dmitri Young had three hits and a pair of RBI in Monday's 5-1 win over the Braves.
Jerome Williams (0-2, 4.91) was shaky in his last start against the Braves last Wednesday. He gave up just two runs and four hits, but struggled to find the strike zone, walking four.
The Braves won two of three from Washington last week.
