Harris Belts Two Homers as Braves Edge Nationals for 10th Straight Win

The late-season surge offers a lift despite Atlanta’s elimination from playoff contention.

Overview

  • Atlanta beat Washington 3-2 at Truist Park on Tuesday to extend the majors’ longest active winning streak to 10 games.
  • Michael Harris II ended a 94-at-bat homerless stretch with two solo shots measured at 444 and 424 feet for his first multi-homer game of the season.
  • Ronald Acuña Jr. delivered a Statcast-projected 433-foot opposite-field solo homer in the sixth inning that put the Braves ahead.
  • Rookie Hurston Waldrep worked six innings of one-run ball to improve to 6-1, becoming the first franchise rookie primary starter to reach that mark.
  • Raisel Iglesias secured his 28th save as the Braves moved to 75-83, with six wins in the streak coming against the last-place Nationals including a four-game sweep last week.
