WASHINGTON – Nearly 23 months ago, the Braves won a game at Nationals Park. They didn’t accomplish that again until Friday, when they finally snapped a 14-game losing skid that was the franchise’s longest at any ballpark in more than 60 years.
Freddie Freeman drove in four runs with a double and a three-run homer in a 8-5 win against the Nationals at Stephen Strasburg to open a three-game series. It was the first time the Braves won at Nationals Park since Sept. 10, 2014, when Aaron Harang was the winning pitcher and Strasburg the loser.
In between those two games, Strasburg was 5-0 with a 0.
