Washington Nationals 4 – 5 Atlanta Braves

🎧 Post-Game Report (audio)

Post-Game Recap

The Atlanta Braves edged the Washington Nationals four to five in a game that spent most of its life going the wrong way for Atlanta before a sixth-inning burst turned everything around.

Washington came out swinging hard. Lile got it started with a solo shot to right center in the second, then García Jr. went deep to right for four hundred and fifty-five feet worth of trouble in the third, and Lile came right back in the fourth with another home run to make it three to nothing. The Nationals looked like they were running away with it.

But Atlanta answered immediately. Acuña Jr. launched one four hundred and twenty-one feet to center to get the Braves on the board, and then in the fifth, Yastrzemski connected on a two-run shot that tied it at three apiece. Just like that, all that Washington cushion was gone.

The turning point came in the sixth. Ozzie Albies singled to center and drove in both Baldwin and Acuña Jr., flipping the lead to Atlanta at five to three, and the Braves never looked back. Washington mounted one final push in the seventh when García Jr. tripled home Wood to make it five to four, but that was as close as they got.

García Jr. was the story for the Nationals — three hits, a home run, two RBI — but it wasn't enough. Atlanta found their moment and held it.
