Journeyman non-roster invitee Chris Dominguez hit a bases-loaded, two-run single up the middle, and veteran catcher Matt Wieters hit a towering two-run home run to left field to lead the Washington Nationals to a 9-3 win over the Atlanta Braves this afternoon in West Palm Beach, Florida’s FITTEAM Ballpark of the Palm Beaches.
Spencer Kieboom (two-run single), Osvaldo Abreu (RBI single) and Andrew Stevenson (RBI single) drove in runs as well as the Nationals ran away with this one.
Max Scherzer looked sharp in a 23-pitch, two-inning outing, his first of the Spring, and the Nationals’ bullpen held the Braves in check as Atlanta connected for just five hits total.
