Game Summary
Washington Nationals defeated the Atlanta Braves 9-5. Washington seized control with a four-run second inning that erased an early Ozzie Albies homer and provided the game’s decisive margin; timely hitting from Yohandy Morales (3-5, HR, 2B, RBI), CJ Abrams (2-4, 2 RBI, BB) and Brady House (2-RBI double, sac fly) keyed the attack. Jared Simpson tossed three scoreless innings of relief (0 H, 0 BB, 3 K) and was credited with the win, while Atlanta starter AJ Smith-Shawver allowed five runs in four innings and took the loss. Atlanta narrowed the gap in the eighth on Michael Harris II’s two-run homer, but Andrés Chaparro’s RBI single in the bottom of the eighth extended Washington’s lead and finished the scoring.
