Bryce Elder completed his fourth straight quality start for the Braves and did so in dominating fashion for Atlanta. The rookie hurler made history tonight, as he became the first Braves rookie since Paul Marak tp throw a complete game shutout. Elder’s pristine performance ended up being more than enough for Atlanta in this one, as the Braves cruised to an 8-0 victory over the Nationals.
This game was both very quiet and very speedy for the first three innings, as the batters had a tough time figuring out both Bryce Elder and Cory Abbott during that time span.
