The Atlanta Braves, who have now clinched a postseason spot, will try to keep pace in the National League East on Wednesday when they go for a three-game sweep against the visiting Washington Nationals.

The Braves earned a place in the playoffs for the fifth straight year when they defeated the Nationals 3-2 and the New York Mets came from behind to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 7-5. The Braves remain a game behind the Mets in the division race.

Atlanta (93-55) has won 10 straight games at home, the longest streak since they set the modern-era club record of 13 straight in 2019. The Braves have won five straight and have won 12 of 15 games against the Nationals (51-97) this season.

The Braves will start rookie right-hander Bryce Elder (1-3, 3.67), while the Nationals will turn to veteran right-hander Paolo Espino (0-7, 4.24).

Elder slipped into the rotation after rookie Spencer Strider was sidelined with a sore oblique. Max Fried had been scheduled to start Wednesday, but the Braves will push him to Thursday for the opener of the four-game series in Philadelphia.

Elder has spent the season bouncing up and down between Atlanta and Triple-A Gwinnett. He has made seven appearances, six starts, for the Braves. Elder has struck out 30 and walked 19 in 34 1/3 innings for Atlanta. In 18 appearances with Gwinnett, Elder went 6-5 with a 4.46 ERA.

Dana’s Pick Over: 8.5 -120
