Braves at Nats Tickets

The Atlanta Braves entered professional baseball as the Boston Red Stockings. Much like the team we see today, the Red Stockings were also a dominant force. Although the Braves had to adjust to three different home cities (Boston, Milwaukee and Atlanta), it did not deter them from being counted among the most successful teams between the 1991 to 2005 period. During these fourteen years they lifted the Division title every single year. Apart from that the Braves have won three World Series championships, with their latest victory coming in 1995.

The Washington Nationals were initially based in Montreal. They were in Canada for many years, until the MLB purchased the franchise and moved them to Washington. The Washington Nationals have acquired two Division titles, winning the Eastern Division in 1981 and 2012. Although the trophy cabinet of the two teams shows a great deal of disparity, their games are always interesting to watch. Get Atlanta Braves Vs Washington Nationals tickets and watch the two teams face-off, as the Braves host the Nats.

Things heated up between the two teams during the 2013 season, when Braves’ pitcher, Julio Teheran, hit Nationals’ Bryce Harper with a skewed pitch. Harper had hit a home run on his previous at-bat. This led to a scuffle between the benches which eventually stopped. When the teams met again in August, the roles were reversed as Nats pitcher Stephen Strasburg, hit Braves’ Justin Upton with a pitch. Since then both the teams have played their games with much aggression.

Atlanta Braves Vs Washington Nationals

On the face of it, the Atlanta Braves are a much stronger team than the Washington Nationals. They were founded way ahead of the Nationals in 1871, while the Nationals were founded as recently as 1969. The Braves have also won 3 World Series, while the Nationals have won none. However, the Braves have won nothing of significance since 2013, while the Nationals are the reigning champions of their division. Plus, they trail the Braves by 17 games only. So the 2017 MLB season will be an exciting season for the fans of both the Nationals and the Braves.
