Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Strider can add his name to the team's record books when he takes the mound on Saturday night against the visiting Washington Nationals.

Strider (19-5, 3.81 ERA) needs three strikeouts to break the Braves' modern-era, single-season strikeout record of 276 set by John Smoltz in 1996. Strider has won eight of his past 10 starts.
