The Braves got their evening started off right as Ozzie Albies nailed the second pitch he saw tonight into the left field bullpen area to get Atlanta a quick 1-0 lead.
Things slowed down quite a bit from there as Julio Teheran and Austin Voth exchanged scoreless innings all the way up to the bottom of the fourth when Josh Donaldson doubled the Braves lead with a solo shot of his own.
The Nationals finally answered by cutting the lead right back to one as Asdrubal Cabrera guided a solo homer right inside the right field foul pole to get the score to 2-1 in the top of the fifth.
