Michael Harris II, Braves crush Nationals' pitching

September 11 - Michael Harris II homered twice, Orlando Arcia and Sean Murphy also went deep and the visiting Atlanta Braves routed the Washington Nationals 12-0 on Tuesday night.

Harris, Matt Olson and Ramon Laureano had three hits each for the Braves, who began the night one game behind the New York Mets in the National League wild-card race.

Atlanta starter Reynaldo Lopez left the game after one inning due to right shoulder soreness. Jesse Chavez (2-2) entered in the second and pitched three scoreless innings on one hit for the win. John Brebbia added three scoreless frames as four Braves pitchers combined for a three-hitter.
