The Nats got the best of the Braves in game one behind an offensive outburst and Jefry Rodriguez’s best game as a major leaguer on the mound. The Braves sadly did lose Max Fried to a groin injury after he was hit with a line drive in the second inning.
The day was not a complete loss for Atlanta as the Braves got a strong performance from Sean Newcomb and Charlie Culberson supplied the power in an impressive show against Max Scherzer. The Nationals continue to hover just above .
