ATLANTA — Ronald Acuña Jr. hit his 16th home run to tie for the big league homer lead and the Atlanta Braves beat the Washington Nationals 5-3 on Monday.
The Braves have won six of seven games against the Nationals this season and have outscored them 33-21. Washington has lost five in a row overall. Atlanta starter Charlie Morton gave up three runs, six hits and three walks with six strikeouts in five innings. Luke Jackson struck out Turner, who whiffed four times, to strand a runner at third in the sixth.
Joe Ross allowed four runs, three hits and three walks with seven strikeouts, retiring the last 11 batters he faced, but he trailed 3-0 in the first on Dansby Swanson’s sacrifice fly and William Contreras’ two-run single. “That's baseball," he said. “There's going to be a winner and there's going to be a loser. I think for us it's our job to go out there with the mentality to keep the focus up and the energy."
