Julio Teheran will not receive a Christmas Card from Bryce Harper this year. The Atlanta starting pitcher hit Harper last night and both teams seemed to be on the verge of a dust up after Harped barked some choice words back at the mound but cooler heads finally prevailed. The bean ball seemed accidental in a one run game but Harper's temper and body are probably still a little sore from the incident which may set the stage for some leftover bad blood in the series finale. Atlanta now has a twelve game win streak batting .290 with a 14 1/2 game lead in the National League East and will look to sweep the Nationals tonight. Medlen is 8-10 3.85 ERA overall this season for Atlanta and allowed four Runs with three HR's in six Innings Pitched in last outing. Medlen is 1-1 1.71 ERA in three starts vs. Washington and will face a Nationals team with one madder than a wet hornet Harper but as a team have only has batted .228 dropping five of seven. Zimmerman is 13-6 3.06 ERA overall this season for Washington and is tied with Lance Lynn and Adam Wainright for most wins in the National League. Zimmerman was dominant in this matchup back in May of 2013 with a two hit eight inning performance however Zimmerman is 0-2 9.64 ERA in last three starts after posting 9-0 1.50 ERA in first ten outings. Zimmerman has allowed seven runs and five BB's in eleven Innings Pitched in last two home starts vs. Atlanta. Bryce Harper is 4 for 21 with two HR's in the series and 2 for 10 with a HR vs. Medlen but has gone 0 for 4 vs. Medlen this year. Washington is in a terrible mood with the disappointments of their season and now on the verge of being swept by a Division Rival may be more than the Nationals can stand if Atlanta accidentally gets squirrely tonight. Washington too should refrain from any revenge measures and let last night's firework just fizzle out with class. Source: ESPN MLb Preview.
