Nationals End Braves’ 10-Game Streak as James Wood Powers 4-3 Win

The loss followed a 10th straight win sparked by Michael Harris II, reflecting momentum that arrived too late for the Braves.

Overview

  • James Wood hit two solo home runs to reach 30 on the season, and Josh Bell added his 21st as Washington won 4-3 in Atlanta.
  • Rookie Andrew Alvarez delivered 4 1/3 scoreless innings before Mitchell Parker earned the win in relief and Jose Ferrer notched his 10th save.
  • Atlanta went 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position and stranded 10, scoring on solo shots by Drake Baldwin, Marcell Ozuna and pinch-hitter Eli White as a replay overturn ended the game.
  • The night before, the Braves secured a 10th straight victory 3-2 behind Michael Harris II’s two homers that snapped a 94-at-bat drought and a six-inning, one-run start from rookie Hurston Waldrep.
  • Atlanta’s run marked its first double-digit win streak since 2022, came after the club was eliminated from playoff contention, and coincided with recalling Brett Wisely to replace injured Ozzie Albies (hamate).
