Joc Pederson's 10th-inning hit lifts Braves over Nats

Joc Pederson's RBI single drove in the winning run with two outs in the 10th inning, giving the Atlanta Braves a 7-6 walk-off win over the visiting Washington Nationals on Thursday.

Pederson delivered a sharp single to left against Wander Suero (2-3), who had loaded the bases. The winning pitcher was Jacob Webb (3-2), who tossed a scoreless top of the 10th.

The game featured a wild finish. Luis Garcia hit a 448-foot homer in the eighth to give the Nationals a 5-4 lead, but the Braves answered with solo shots from Freddie Freeman and Adam Duvall in the bottom of the eighth to take a 6-5 advantage.
