UP NEXT:
Nationals: RHP Stephen Strasburg (6-4, 3.13) probably hates to see the calendar change. He went 4-1 with a 2.51 ERA in five May starts, allowing just 26 hits while striking out 40 in 32 1/3 innings.
Braves: RHP Mike Foltynewicz (4-3, 2.55) will be facing Washington for the third time this season. He is 1-1 with a 2.61 ERA in 10 1/3 innings against the Nationals.
TRAINER'S ROOM:
Nationals: RHP Ryan Madson was activated from the disabled list after missing 12 games with a pectoral strain. The 37-year-old reliever is 1-2 with three saves and a 4.19 ERA in 21 appearances. The team gave Madson the option of going to the minor leagues for a rehab stint. He decided to rejoin the Nationals as soon as he was healthy. "He wanted to save his bullets" for big league hitters, manager Dave Martinez said.
Braves: OF Ronald Acuna Jr. seems to be recovering quickly after injuring his left knee and lower back during a game last Sunday at Boston. The 20-year-old rookie phenom would be eligible to come off the DL on June 8 when Atlanta is on a West Coast road trip, but the Braves are in no rush to get their top prospect back on the field. "He's going to heal quick," manager Brian Snitker said. "He'll probably tell you, `I can go out there and play right now.' But we're going to be careful to get rid of all the pain, make sure everything is tightened up and solid."

From Braves history on this date, one of the best tantrums ever---and someone who could throw some pretty good ones of their own.... 1961 After playing just six games with the Braves, the team trades Billy Martin to the Twins for Billy Consolo. The fiery infielder will finish his 11-year career in the Twin Cities, spending the next eight years with the organization in various capacities, which includes managing the club to a first-place finish in 1969. 2007 After being ejected from the game against the Chattanooga Lookouts, Mississippi Braves manager Phillip Wellman kicks dirt on home plate and then proceeds to draw the umpire's strike zone in the dirt before tossing third base into the outfield. The minor-league skipper continues his tirade when he crawls to the mound, throws the rosin bag like a hand grenade at the ump, and then carries second base with him as he exits AT&T Field. And from around MLB, some notable events...Ronald Acuna, take note of what can happen if you are out too long---and wouldn't it be cool if Bullfrog pitched for the Fire Frogs?  ....  1925 Lou Gehrig, making the only appearance as a pinch-hitter in his 17-year career, begins his streak of playing in 2,130 straight games when he comes off the Yankee bench to hit for rookie infielder Pee-Wee Wanninger. Ironically, Wanninger is the player who ended a consecutive-game streak of 1,307 consecutive games when he started the May 5th contest in place of Everett Scott, the team's regular shortstop. 1937 At Comiskey Park, 27 year-old White Sox right-hander Bill Dietrich no-hits the Browns, 8-0. 'Bullfrog,' who will pitch 16 seasons for three American League teams, compiling a 108-128 record, is the tenth Pale Hose hurler to accomplish the feat in franchise history. |

Key game in the series tonight. We take this one and we have a really good chance at winning the series. Lose it, and we'll have to scrap and fight just to split.

Earl Weaver had some good ones, along with the aforementioned Billy Martin, and even our own Bobby had his moments.....but Phillip might just have been in a league of his own with this one!!!

Mark Bowman @mlbbowman
Gohara is expected to return from Brazil tomorrow. He will throw a side session to get back in the swing of things. He’ll likely be used as a reliever upon his return.
