The Atlanta Braves will try to make it four straight wins Tuesday night when they continue a three-game series against the Washington Nationals. The Braves’ offense broke out for eight runs in Monday’s win and a strong performance by Bryce Elder gave the bullpen a night off.
Matt Olson gave the Braves the lead with a two-run home run which was his first since September 6. Olson also walked and barreled a line drive that went for a sacrifice fly so there is hope that he is starting to come out of a prolonged slump.
