00:00Braves have a chance to get back to 500 here tonight.

00:02And boy, you always like your chances when you give the ball to a guy like Max Fried,

00:05who's been terrific in his last few starts.

00:08And runners on first and third.

00:09Nobody out at Juan Soto coming up.

00:12Fried to the belt.

00:12The kick of the pitch.

00:14Lowered away.

00:14That gets away from Contreras, the catcher.

00:16Turner breaks from third.

00:17He'll come in to score.

00:19Harrison to second base.

00:20And the Nationals lead one to nothing.

00:22Finally getting out on top of the first inning run.

00:25And a one and two count on Soto.

00:27The pitch.

00:27Swing on.

00:27Missed.

00:28Went upstairs with 97, and there's that strikeout.

00:32First of the game for Fried.

00:34Harrison at second with one away.

00:36Zimmerman stepping into the right-hand batter's box.

00:39Strike three outside corner at the knees.

00:42Perfect pitch.

00:43Fastball 97.

00:45Back-to-back Ks for Max Fried.

00:48So Harrison still at second base with two away, and it brings up Castro.

00:52And here comes Fried.

00:53Swing and a miss.

00:55He struck him out.

00:56Steven Strasburg will be on the mound for the Nationals.

00:58He'll make his fifth start of the year.

01:00A one and two record of 4.43 ERA.

01:03The Nationals find themselves 21 and 29.

01:05And Ronald Acuna is coming up with a four-game hitting streak in his back pocket.

01:093-0 delivery.

01:11Too high.

01:11Ball four.

01:13And that one at 90 miles an hour.

01:15And not close.

01:16Here we go.

01:17Well, something didn't look right right from the start with Strasburg and Nationals director

01:22athletic training Paul Assard out there with manager Davey Martinez.

01:27As soon as Strasburg went for that walk behind the mound, already something didn't seem right.

01:32And they weren't wasting any time going out there to check on him.

01:37The Braves have the time run at third base with one man out and Albies at the plate.

01:42Two balls and a strike on Albies.

01:43Here it is.

01:45Line drive down the left field line.

01:46It's in for a base hit.

01:47Acuna will trot home.

01:48Look at Ozzie Runner on first going to second.

01:51The throw by Schwarber is late.

01:52RBI double for Ozzie Albies and we are back to even.

01:57One apiece.

01:59So two out a runner at second and Dansby Swanson the batter.

02:03He's been the hottest Braves hitter in nine-game inning streak.

02:06Now the one-two swing and a miss struck him out.

02:10Elevated fastball at 89 miles an hour.

02:13So Strasburg gets through the inning.

02:16A walk, a steal, a hit.

02:18Well, it brings up Strasburg.

02:19Runner at second and one out.

02:21Freed trying to solve Strasburg here with a 2-2 pitch.

02:24Here it is.

02:25Off speed.

02:26Stee right three.

02:28Dropped a great big yakker on him.

02:31Fourth strikeout for Freed.

02:33So two going on the top of the second.

02:36Trey Turner at the plate.

02:371-1 game top of the second.

02:40Another 2-2 pitch.

02:41Swing and a miss.

02:41He got him.

02:42Big pitch by Max Freed.

02:45Got the 97 past him.

02:47Trey Turner struck out four times yesterday.

02:53That's his first K today.

02:55And Max Freed able to avoid damage in what was a troublesome top of the second.

03:01And he'll bring up William Contreras, the rookie catcher, hitting 2-39 in 21 games.

03:07A double, a triple, five homers, and 17 runs batted in.

03:12Down in the zone.

03:13Strasburg knocks it down.

03:15Bare hand.

03:15He's got time.

03:16And Zimmerman makes a good pick on the backhand side.

03:20Steven Strasburg taking the brunt of a line drive right at him.

03:26He didn't look comfortable.

03:27He didn't look happy.

03:29I mean, he looked miserable out there from just the body language and facial expressions.

03:34And here we go again with Strasburg and whatever the ailment might be at this point.

03:39So, new pitcher with Strasburg leaving due to injury will have as much time as he needs to get ready.

03:46To Ronald Acuna here in the first inning.

03:48You can see, to me, you see him shaking his arm here.

03:52The second pitcher, second time right here, you really see it.

03:56Watch him try to shake this thing out.

03:58And what, to me, you see, look at that.

04:00It's just, the ball's doing nothing.

04:02Right.

04:02It's got no life on it.

04:03And I think that's when Davey Martinez came.

04:05And I think the biggest thing is, whether it's a dead arm, there was no life on the fastball.

04:08And we always see him.

04:10That ball is sinking.

04:12He could get it over 90.

04:14And now here comes Acuna with first base open.

04:18And Freeman on deck.

04:20The kick and the pitch.

04:21Swing and a miss.

04:23Foul tip, actually, into the glove of Volth for strike three on a climbing 95-mile-an-hour fastball.

04:29Sterling Castro.

04:32Right-handed batter.

04:33Shift is on.

04:35Check of the runners and the 1-2 pitch.

04:37Swung on, missed.

04:39Got him with a fastball in.

04:42And his strikeout number six for Freed.

04:45Two men out in the third.

04:47Six strikeouts for Freed.

04:49And it's up to Schwarber.

04:50Who had a good at-bat and drew a walk.

04:53And made it to third last inning, but was stranded.

04:56The 0-1.

04:57Here's a swing and a ground ball right side and through for a base hit.

05:00Through the shift.

05:01Headed toward the plate is Soto.

05:02Acuna's throw home is offline and not in time.

05:06Nationals take the lead 2-1.

05:08RBI single to right field for Schwarber.

05:11Zimmerman stops at second.

05:12Schwarber has his 24th RBI.

05:15And the Nationals have the lead back 2-1.

05:17Here's Gomes.

05:18Two runs on four hits for the Nats.

05:20One run, one hit for the Braves.

05:22Hard hit ground ball right to third.

05:23Riley has it.

05:24He'll run to the bag at third after a hesitation.

05:27And accept the force out.

05:29Damage limited to one run.

05:31Here's Soto.

05:31Two on and two outs.

05:332-1 coming home.

05:35Fastball hit to left field on a line.

05:37That's a base hit toward the line.

05:38Scoring is Voth.

05:39Headed to plate is Harrison.

05:41Hilf scores.

05:42The throw is cut off by Riley.

05:44It's a two-run single left for Juan Soto.

05:46And the Nationals lead 4-1.

05:48Big clutch hit for Soto.

05:50RBI 17 and 18.

05:52And the Nationals now lead by three.

05:54The Nationals have the 4-1 lead with Ryan Zimmerman facing Edgar Santana.

05:58And to greet him, Ryan Zimmerman, deep right center.

06:05See you later.

06:09Opposite field.

06:11Zimmerman, sixth of the year.

06:13And the Nationals on the first pitch lead 6-1.

06:17Voth ready.

06:19Acuna in the box.

06:20Yet another 3-2 pitch from Voth to Acuna.

06:24Swung on and belted.

06:26That was solid.

06:28Ronald's taking a look at that to straightaway center.

06:31Gone.

06:33Woo-hoo.

06:34That was mashed.

06:37Braves back in it at 6-3.

06:40Home run number 17 for Ronald.

06:43RBI is 34 and 35.

06:46A lot of room for Swanson on the right side.

06:49There goes Riley.

06:50The pitch swung on.

06:52Hit to left field.

06:53Base hit.

06:53That'll get Albies in.

06:55Riley's around second.

06:56He'll make third.

06:57Dansby with a huge turnaround first.

07:00He'll have to hold there.

07:01What an at-bat.

07:02He fell behind 0-2.

07:05Worked the count full in line to RBI.

07:08Single to left.

07:08He extends his hitting streak to 10 games.

07:12And it's now 6-4.

07:14Washington.

07:14So a chance to tack on an insurance runner Moore here with Kyle Schwarber facing the lefty

07:22Matzik.

07:24Here's the 0-1.

07:25Swing.

07:25A line drive left field.

07:27This one hangs up.

07:27And a shoestring grab attempted by Almonte, but he trapped it.

07:31So it's a base hit.

07:33Soto will score from third.

07:35Castro into second.

07:36And it's an RBI single the other way for Schwarber.

07:39Nationals lead 7-4.

07:41Two on and one out for Jan Gomes.

07:45Three balls, one strike.

07:47Here comes the pitch home.

07:49Swing and a fly ball left center field.

07:51This one toward the gap.

07:52Way back there toward the track.

07:53And it's off the wall.

07:54Gloved by Heredia.

07:56Headed home is Castro.

07:57Schwarber trying to score.

07:58Swanson's relay throw.

08:00Hits the side of the mound.

08:01It's not in time.

08:01And in a second with a two-run double is Jan Gomes.

08:05Big hit for the Nationals.

08:06They lead it 9-4.

08:08Gomes picks up RBIs 15 and 16 with that drive to deep.

08:12Left center field.

08:15Here's Robles.

08:15Seventh man to bat in the inning.

08:17Victor a walk and two strikeouts.

08:21High fly ball.

08:22Left field playable.

08:24Almonte to his left.

08:25Circles under.

08:26He's there.

08:27He's got it.

08:27And that will win the inning.

08:29And here comes Austin Riley.

08:32Smoke to the left side.

08:34Turner scrambles.

08:35Throws to first.

08:36And not in time.

08:37Infield hit.

08:38Put it in play.

08:39Something good might happen.

08:41Give Riley a hit in an RBI.

08:43So here's Almonte.

08:44Runners second and third.

08:46The tall right-hander to the belt.

08:48And to the plate.

08:50Strike three.

08:51Called outside corner of the knees.

08:53One out and Turner at first.

08:55The banner will be Juan Soto now.

08:59Soto to left center.

09:01On a fastball.

09:02See you later.

09:08Bang.

09:08Zoom goes Soto with his fifth home run of the year.

09:11His third hit of the night.

09:13This is a two-run blast giving him four runs batted in for the night.

09:17Braves are in the shift against Schwarber.

09:19Dayton peaks to second.

09:21Comes back to the plate with a 2-2.

09:22Swing and a miss at a breaking ball.

09:24And runners at the corners now with one out.

09:26With Austin Riley coming up next.

09:30High fly ball to center field.

09:32Didn't get it though.

09:34Hit it too high in the air.

09:35Still coming down.

09:36Catch is made by Robles.

09:37Tagging at third.

09:38And coming in to score is Acuna on the sack fly by Riley.

09:42Dansby Swanson.

09:43The last hope for the Braves.

09:45It'll be another 3-2 to Swanson.

09:47Swung on.

09:47Hit in the air to deep left field.

09:50Back goes Schwarber to the wall.

09:51Makes the catch.

09:53In the webbing of the glove.

09:54And holds on.

09:56And a curly W is in the books.
