) Martin Perez was a late replacement for Reynaldo Lopez as the Braves starting pitcher. The news came out an hour before 1st Pitch and it was a switch from a righty to a lefty pitcher. The Nats ended up not getting their first hit until a Brady House 7th inning double to break up Perez's No-Hit bid.
) Atlanta broke the game wide open in the bottom of the 7th when they scored four runs off Riley Cornelio. Eddie Yean relieved Cornelio but brought in a run right away with a wild pitch.
) CJ Abrams committed his 18th error of the season and had rough night defensively. This leads to a wide-angle lens view regarding his future at the shortstop position.
) If the Nats struggle in August, will Washington move on from Miles Mikolas? He allowed four runs off of nine hits on Saturday night and his ERA is now 5.67.
The Nats lost 8-3 in Atlanta on Saturday for their 4th straight defeat, Mark (From Truist Park) & Al update the latest Trade Deadline scenarios as they are now two games below .500 with just one game left before Monday's deadline. ((((
