Williams, Nationals hold down weak-hitting Braves 3-1 for rare 4-game series win

Associated Press  

ATLANTA — 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. “To come out of here with three wins in four games, that’s pretty good.” 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. “You just hope maybe one two-out hit that somebody gets relaxes everybody,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said.
