Battle of struggling teams as Braves host Nationals

Jun 26, 2007 - 1:04 PM Washington (32-44) at Atlanta (39-38) 7:35 pm EDT

ATLANTA (Ticker) - The Atlanta Braves host the Washington Nationals in the second of a three-game series on Wednesday.

The Braves have struggled in June and the Nationals have, for the most part, struggled all season.

Atlanta has lost five of its last six contests and posted a 9-15 record this month.

Tim Hudson seven effective innings and Brian McCann drove in three runs as the Braves snapped a five-game losing streak with a 4-1 victory in Monday's series opener.

Buddy Carlyle (1-2, 6.11 ERA) takes the mound for Atlanta. The 29-year-old righthander pitched just 3 2/3 innings in his last outing, surrendering seven runs and nine hits with three walks and four strikeouts in an 11-0 loss the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday.

Washington will counter with Mike Bacsik (1-4, 4.70), who has not won since May 24.

The 29-year-old Bacsik gave up three runs and six hits with two strikeouts in an 8-4 loss to the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday.

The Nationals, who have lost five of their last seven games, are in last place in the National League East.
