Braves come back again but fall in extras to Nationals

The Atlanta Braves put together another ninth inning rally but fell in extra innings 8-7 to the Washington Nationals.

As has become the norm, the Braves fell behind quickly in the first as the Nationals jumped on Josh Tomlin. After a lead off double by Adam Eaton and a walk by Trea Turner, Juan Soto made Tomlin pay with a line drive double to right to make it 2-0. Washington wasn’t finished as Eric Thames followed with a single that scored Soto to push the lead to 3-0.

The Nationals added to the lead in the third as Turner led off with a double and then picked up his eighth steal of the season swiping third.
