Atlanta Braves reach 100 wins for second straight season

WASHINGTON -- Spencer Strider earned his major-league-leading 19th win and the Atlanta Braves got their 100th victory of the season Sunday night by defeating the Washington Nationals 8-5 for a doubleheader split.

Kevin Pillar and Forrest Wall homered, and Orlando Arcia drove in three runs for Atlanta (100-56), which has won 100 games in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2002-03.

"It's unbelievable," Braves manager Brian Snitker said. "It's hard to do. I think it's quite an accomplishment anytime you can win 100 games.
