ATLANTA -- It looked like the Nationals were in for a long night on Saturday at Turner Field. Right-hander Max Scherzer was having early problems, while Braves rookie Tyrell Jenkins was having his way with Washington.
By the fourth inning, however, Jenkins lost it by surrendering eight runs in the frame en route to the Nationals' 11-9 win. Washington, which is undefeated in Atlanta this season, improved to 11-1 against the Braves in 2016.
Jenkins got only one out in the fourth before right-hander Ryan Weber replaced him. Weber ended up doing a serviceable job on the mound, pitching 3 2/3 innings and allowing one run on eight hits to keep Atlanta in it.
