**Nationals, Braves Aim to Complete Series Finale Despite Lingering Rain Threat**

WASHINGTON D.C. – After a Wednesday night rainout, the Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves will try again to wrap up their series this evening at Nationals Park, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:45 p.m. EDT. While rain remains in the forecast, hopes are high that the worst of it will pass before game time.

The pitching matchup remains unchanged: Trevor Williams will take the mound for the Nationals, facing off against the Braves’ AJ Smith-Shawver. Both teams’ bullpens are rested and ready to go, potentially influencing Nationals manager Davey Martinez’s strategy regarding Williams’ length of outing.

Adding to the excitement is the anticipated major league debut of Robert Hassell III, who has had some time to prepare for his first major league promotion. Hassell was seen practicing fielding fly balls.

Here are the projected lineups:

**Braves:** LF Alex Verdugo, 3B Austin Riley, 1B Matt Olson, DH Marcell Ozuna, C Drake Baldwin, 2B Ozzie Albies, RF Eli White, CF Michael Harris II, SS Nick Allen.

**Nationals:** SS CJ Abrams, LF James Wood, 1B Nathaniel Lowe, C Keibert Ruiz, 2B Luis García Jr., DH Josh Bell, CF Robert Hassell III, RF Alex Call, 3B José Tena

Fans can catch the game on MASN2, MLB.tv, 106.7 FM, 87.7 FM (Spanish), and MLB.com. The weather forecast predicts a chance of rain, with temperatures around 60 degrees and wind blowing out to right field at 8 mph.
