ATLANTA -- Preston Tucker continues to do everything he can to show the Braves he belongs as their everyday left fielder, and he made a case in his first at-bat Wednesday with a two-out, three-run home run off Nationals ace Max Scherzer in the bottom of the first inning of their series finale at SunTrust Park.
After Freddie Freeman's two-out double to left, Nick Markakis reached on Nationals second baseman Wilmer Difo's fielding error, setting the stage for Tucker's second homer in the first inning in as many days.
