Braves Deal Nationals 4-3 Loss
The Atlanta Braves picked up a win at Truist Park, taking down the Washington Nationals, 4-3. Starting pitcher Rod Swift was a big reason why. Atlanta is now 102-58, 7½ games up in the National League East.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 11th inning, when Atlanta third baseman Taylor Sparks, facing Harlan Carter, had a run-scoring strikeout. It gave the Braves the 4-3 win.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Sparks said after the game.
