162nd Regular Season

4-10 September 
 
Washington Nationals will be hoping to improve their form in the 2020 Major Baseball League (MLB) when they face Atlanta Braves on Friday, November 04.
 
The reigning World Series champions have struggled thus far this season having recorded the least number of wins (12) in the National League East.
 
Nationals will take on a high flying Braves side which has recorded the most wins (19) and they are placed at the top of the National League East standings.
 
The Braves are also scheduled to take on Miami Marlins on Monday, September 07 with the latter currently placed second on the table with 14 victories.

Dave Martinez, the Nationals coach, who is in his third year managing the team, says he knows how to deal with the pressure which comes with coaching a top team. 
 
“I know this game has evolved. I’ve learned how to evolve with it,” said Martinez.

“I’ve learned how to deal with different things with young players and stuff. I’ve seen that toward the [end] of my career, how the game was changing. 
 
"Then when I was coaching I really noticed a big difference. This isn’t a dictatorship by any means," the 55-year-old tactician continued. 
 
"It’s taking individual players and teaching them what you want to try to do and what you want to try to avoid.”
