Ronald Acuna Jr. had three hits and scored the winning run in the bottom of the ninth on a single by Josh Donaldson as the Atlanta Braves beat the Washington Nationals 4-3 on Friday.

Acuna led off the ninth with a walk off Fernando Rodney (0-3), who then gave up a single to Dansby Swanson and walked Freddie Freeman to load the bases with no outs. Donaldson then singled to deep left field on a 2-0 fastball.

Victor Robles hit a two-run homer with two outs in the top of the ninth off Braves closer Luke Jackson to tie the game at 3-3.
