Nationals Victorious at Atlanta, 5-2
Spirited fans greeted the Atlanta Braves for their clash with the Washington Nationals.

The Washington Nationals got a strong performance from pitcher Kirk McCarty, who stymied the Atlanta offense en route to a win, 5-2, at Truist Park. Tyler Schoff, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 1st save.

Washington used the hitting of Dylan Crews to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Nationals on top, 4-0. For the game, Crews had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Washington manager Fredi Gonzalez attributed the win to "a little bit of this and a little bit of that."

Atlanta, with the loss, is 16-11.
