The final pitch wasn’t thrown until 1:20 a.m. Saturday, but the Atlanta Braves picked up a big win on Friday night over the Washington Nationals, 4-2.
It looked early like it might be a long night for the Braves offensively against rising prospect Josiah Gray, but four solo homers propelled the club to a 4-2 lead after falling into an early 2-0 deficit. Travis d’Arnaud snuck his first home run over the left field wall since returning from the injured list in the 5th. Ozzie Albies followed in the 6th with a homer to right-center, his 21st of the year.
