Overview

• Atlanta routed Washington 11-3 in Monday’s opener behind Spencer Strider’s seven innings of one-run ball and Matt Olson’s four-hit, three-RBI night.
• In Tuesday’s first game, the Braves won 6-3 as Olson went deep for a fourth straight game and Jurickson Profar joined him in a five-run fourth inning.
• José Suarez, added for the doubleheader, delivered seven strong innings with nine strikeouts in his first start for Atlanta, and Raisel Iglesias earned save No. 26 and the 250th of his career.
• Before the twin bill, Atlanta selected Suarez, recalled Nathan Wiles, optioned Connor Seabold and Alexis Díaz, and transferred catcher Sean Murphy to the 60-day injured list.
• Washington entered the set on a 9-4 September run, but Jake Irvin’s skid continued, and rookie Daylen Lile reached base in 15 straight games and recorded his 10th triple, the most by a Nationals rookie since the franchise moved to D.C.
