Neither of the starters went deep in the first matchup of today’s doubleheader between the Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves in the nation’s capital, with Erick Fedde (1.2 IP, 6 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 3 BB) and Max Fried (2.0 IP, 8 H, 5 R, 5 ER) both struggling on the mound, but the bullpens managed to move the game along with strong showings from each side to keep it a one-run game through six, 6-5 Braves.
Wander Suero took over for the Nationals in the top of the seventh and gave up back-to-back singles, then threw a wild pitch with runners on the corners, 7-5 Braves.
