Donaldson, Albies homer again, Braves win 9th straight

ATLANTA (AP) - Brian McCann helped Houston win the World Series in 2017. He feels the same vibe with the streaking Atlanta Braves.

“I think this series just showed we’re a complete team,” the veteran catcher said. “We can beat you in any phase of the game. We can beat you with speed. We can beat you with pitching. We can beat you with the long ball late in games. Guys hit No. 1s.”

Josh Donaldson and Ozzie Albies each homered for the second straight day and the Braves set off another celebration with their ninth straight victory, 5-4 over the Washington Nationals on Saturday night.
