The Nationals jumped on Mike Foltynewicz for 3 runs in the first, and that was all that was needed as the Braves could parlay their 14 hits into only 2 runs.
Foltynewicz battled back from there, holding the Nationals scoreless until the 6th, an inning he started at the 97 pitch mark. An out away from a quality start, he then allowed consecutive bloop hits, and left after 112 pitches. Sam Freeman allowed only one of those baserunners to score, then graciously gave way to Shane Carle to finish the inning. Luke Jackson and Dan Winkler allowed a run apiece in their innings to close the scoring; Winkler allowing a home run to Bryce Harper.
