The Atlanta Braves will use another of their young pitchers on Saturday when they host the Washington Nationals and try to extend their winning streak to seven games.
Atlanta will start rookie Jared Shuster against Washington's MacKenzie Gore in a battle of left-handers.
Shuster made his major league debut against the Nationals on April 2 and took the loss after allowing four runs in 4 2/3 innings. Shuster made one more start before being sent to Triple-A Gwinnett. He was summoned back to Atlanta in mid-May and was reinserted in the rotation. For Washington, Gore, 24, was a first-round draft choice of the San Diego Padres in 2017 but was shipped to the Nationals as a key piece in the Juan Soto trade last August.
"Just aggressive," Gore said. "I want to be the best version of myself. I like executing pitches and doing what I'm supposed to do. Just being aggressive and going at guys, and we're doing an OK job with that. Just have been throwing some bad pitches that have been homers or just hits that really cost me the last however-it's-been."
