AJ Smith-Shawver faces Trevor Williams again as Braves face Nationals
After a postponed game last night, the Atlanta Braves will face off against the Washington Nationals in a game where the Braves are once again trying to surpass the .500 mark. AJ Smith-Shawver has been on a heater lately. Since being called back up for his April twenty-ninth start, he has dominated his competition with hitters having a slash line of .141/.232/.188 with a 1.08 ERA and 0.840 WHIP. He has had some fortune with a BABIP of .180 against him, but he has still been impressive. Advertisement Because of the way the schedule has worked out, Smith-Shawver's last start was against the Nationals. He looked like the dominant pitcher the Braves' hoped he would be when they drafted him. With 6.0 innings pitched he only allowed two hits with zero earned runs and struck out six to only two walks. With AJ Smith-Shawver being so early in his career, the Nationals' hitters do not have a large sample size against him. However, they just faced him recently. Luis García Jr. has had the most success against Smith-Shawver with a 1.334 OPS in his three at-bats. No other player on the roster has more than five at-bats against Smith-Shawver. The Nationals will bring Trevor Williams to the mound, who also faced AJ Smith-Shawver when these two teams met this month already. Williams went 4.1 innings where the Braves were able to score three earned runs against him by garnering five hits. On the season Williams currently has a 5.91 ERA and 1.533 WHIP. He expected ERA (xERA) is much lower at 3.62, so it should be pointed out that he has had some poor luck. The Braves' offense has clearly not lived up to expectations, but they were able to score four runs (three earned) against the Nationals the last time they faced Williams which could be enough if they do it again with how Smith-Shawver and the bullpen has been performing recently.

Trevor Williams, Robert Hassell III play starring roles as Nats subdue Mariners
SEATTLE — On a night in which the Washington Nationals did a little bit of everything in a 9-0 rout of the Seattle Mariners, what stood out was not just who did what, or how they did it, but rather when. Shove aside, for a second, that right-hander Trevor Williams delivered six scoreless innings in his best start of the season. Or that outfielder Robert Hassell III launched his first career homer, a pulled flyball to right-center at T-Mobile Park that ended up in Washington's dugout thanks to a gracious fan. Or that, as Washington slugged four homers yet again, James Wood became the fourth player aged 22 or younger since 2008 to hit at least 15 homers by the end of May, joining Bryce Harper (2015) and Fernando Tatis Jr. and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (2021).
