Early on, it seemed like Atlanta was in for a rude awakening as they once again trailed big early in a game. However, a lineup that is emerging as one of, if not the best, offenses in the majors once again was there to save the day.
After the Braves went down quietly in the top of the first inning, the Nationals decided they would jump on the Braves early after last nights offensive outburst. After a single by Adam Eaton, Robbie Erlin allowed three straight extra base hits from Trea Turner, Juan Soto, and Asdrubal Cabrera that led to three runners crossing the plate.
