Having dropped six straight, including the first two of three in Atlanta, Georgia’s Truist Park, Washington’s Nationals fell behind 2-0 early in the series finale on Sunday, on a 421 ft. shot by Braves’ first baseman Matt Olson off Nats’ starter Trevor Williams, and with the score 2-1 in the fourth, leadoff and one-out singles and a walk for the home team loaded the bases in front of Michael Harris II, who popped out to short, and Ronald Acuña, Jr. who hit a ground ball to third for out No. 3 on a force at second.
Williams worked out of trouble in the fourth, stranded a two-out double in the fifth, and in the top of the sixth inning, Luis García doubled to start things going, took third base on a wild pitch, and scored on an RBI single by Joey Meneses, 2-2.
