Braves’ Sixth-Inning Rally Seals 9-4 Win, Four-Game Sweep of Nationals

A resurgent Hurston Waldrep set the tone for an offense brimming with confidence.

Overview

  • Atlanta overturned a 3-0 deficit in the sixth as Ronald Acuña Jr. singled, Drake Baldwin doubled him home, Marcell Ozuna tied it with a two-run single, and Nacho Alvarez Jr. delivered the go-ahead RBI on a play where a call at third was upheld on review.
  • Ozuna drove in three runs, including an eighth-inning double that pushed the lead further out of reach.
  • Matt Olson recorded three hits and his 28th home run; he has five homers and 11 RBIs over his past six games.
