Washington Nationals: Sloppy errors ruin win streak
The Washington Nationals dropped the series opener to the Atlanta Braves 4-2. The bats were quiet, but defensive miscues cost the Nats a chance in the game.
The Washington Nationals came into the series opener against the Atlanta Braves having won six in a row, as well as ten straight road games. However, their defense let them down in this one, and inevitably cost them a chance at victory.
In the third inning, a miscommunication by Juan Soto and Trea Turner was followed by a throwing error from Bryce Harper. This allowed Ozzie Albies to score the eventual winning run, when he could’ve easily not been on base in the first place.
