Braves’ starter (and former Nationals’ prospect) Reynaldo López gave up two home runs in his first 62 innings on the mound this season, then he gave up two in back-to-back at-bats Thursday night in the nation’s capital, though unfortunately for Washington, they were the only two runs the club scored in a 5-2 loss to Atlanta.
CJ Abrams (10) hit a 93 MPH 0-2 fastball up in the zone 412 ft. to right field in Nationals Park after five scoreless by López, who limited the Nats to the two runs on six hits total, and next it was Lane Thomas (4), who hit a high 1-2 slider to left-center for a 410 ft.
