BRAVES NEWS
The Braves carried a one-run lead into the eighth inning on Wednesday, but the Nationals cashed in on the Atlanta bullpen for six runs. Arodys Vizcaino was ineffectively wild, walking three consecutive batters with the bases loaded to aid the Washington rally without recording an out. On a positive note, Lucas Sims allowed just one earned run in five innings with six strikeouts and Freddie Freeman hit a solo home run to increase his total to 28 on the year.
Along with the perpetually unanswered questions at third base, one of the biggest issues facing the Braves this offseason will be their managerial decision regarding Brian Snitker.
