Washington’s offense hit the Braves early and they hit them often, as they exploded for 11 runs in total tonight. It was more than enough to beat the Braves on this night by a score of 11-6.
If you were looking forward to tonight’s game being a pitcher’s duel, then unfortunately those fantasies were scuffed away relatively quickly. Max Fried and Stephen Strasburg both didn’t last long, with the latter finding himself in injury trouble almost immediately. Nationals manager Davey Martinez and their athletic trainer had a meeting with Strasburg after he walked Ronald Acuña Jr. on four pitches.
