Freddie Freeman started the night with a .321/.395/.521 career line, 50 doubles, and 21 HRs in 159 games and 660 plate appearances against Washington, and a .319/.402/.490 line, 28 doubles, and seven home runs in Nationals Park, and the Atlanta Braves’ first baseman hit a two-run home run in the fourth to get the visiting team on the board, down 5-2, and another two-run shot in the seventh, which tied things up at 6-6.
Dansby Swanson put the Braves ahead 7-6 in the eighth with an opposite field home run on a 98 MPH 2-2 fastball from Tanner Rainey that went out to right field as well.
