WASHINGTON (AP) — Ronald Acuña Jr. scored his 140th run of 2023 — the most in the majors in 16 years — after tripling, hit his 53rd homer and went deep for one of his four hits, lifting the NL East champion Atlanta Braves past the last-place Washington Nationals 10-3 on Thursday night.
The Braves out-hit the Nationals 18-8, and every member of Atlanta's daunting starting lineup reached base at least once. Olson raised his RBI total to 132, equaling Gary Sheffield in 2003 for the most by a Braves player since the club moved to Atlanta.
