New: The last gasp of the Lost CauseATLANTA — Trevor Williams combined with four relievers on a five-hitter and Washington beat Atlanta 3-1 on Thursday night for the Nationals’ first four-game series win over the Braves since 2016.
The Nationals won three of four for their first four-game series win against Atlanta since Aug. 18-21, 2016 - the year before the Braves moved to Truist Park. The Braves have won the season series against the Nationals in each of the last six years, overlapping Atlanta’s six-year run of NL East titles.
Joey Meneses gave Washington a 2-0 lead over Ray Kerr with a two-run double in a three-run third inning.The Nationals entered the game with 89 stolen bases, the most in the majors, and added to that total with three in the third inning. Jesse Winker and Jacob Young each stole third base with Kerr on the mound - each time without drawing a throw.
Kerr, making his second career start, allowed three runs on five hits and two walks and a career-high seven strikeouts in 3 2/3 innings. The left-hander has allowed a combined eight runs in 7 2/3 innings in his two starts.
