Washington Nationals beat Atlanta Braves a night after a disappointing loss in SunTrust Park...

Matt Adams got to Mike Soroka first, taking an 0-1 fastball down and away from the righty to left-center field in SunTrust Park for a game-tying opposite field home run in the fourth that tied things up at 1-1 after the Atlanta Braves jumped out to a 1-0 lead.

Adams’ 15th homer of 2019 was just the fifth Atlanta’s 21-year-old, 2015 1st Round pick has allowed in 99 23 innings on the mound this season.

An inning later, an errant throw by third baseman Josh Donaldson on a swinging bunt by Washington’s starter, Aníbal Sánchez, started a three-run rally which ended up being the difference in the Nationals’ 5-3 win.
