Even in a shortened, middle-of-a-pandemic season, there are still some sparks flying between the Washington Nationals and their National League East rivals, the Atlanta Braves.
In the series opener, the Nats charged out to an early lead thanks to three long balls in the first five innings and were able to keep their hosts at bay for most of the game.
But it was later in the game that some drama bubbled to the surface...
In the top of the ninth inning with the Nationals leading 5-3, the reigning NL Player of the Week, Juan Soto, stepped into the batter’s box.
