Braves Report
Welcome back, Kevin.
In uniform after five weeks on the inactive list, Kevin Gausman turned in a huge performance in Atlanta’s series-clinching 7-1 win over the Nationals.
He gave up five hits and a run in seven innings, his first start since early he was hit by plantar fasciitis. Gausman whiffed eight with no walks. He left in the eight with two runners on who stayed put.
Freddie Freeman led the 11-hit parade with three hits, while Ronald Acuna, Josh Donaldson, and Ozzie Albies had two hits each, Donaldson and Acuna adding homers.
Anthony Swarzak and Josh Tomlin each threw a shutout inning.
