Jake Irvin pitches six scoreless innings, and the Nationals get to Braves ace Chris Sale in a 2-1 victory at Nationals Park.
Lane Thomas had a triple in the sixth inning but was stranded on third base. Still, the Nationals ended a four-game losing streak with a 2-1 victory over the Braves at Nationals Park on Friday night. The Washington Nationals had a plan Friday night. And for three perfect innings Atlanta Braves left-hander Chris Sale made them forget it.
Then Washington executed a double steal — Senzel’s first steal of the season and Abrams’s ninth. Braves catcher Sean Murphy went to second base given Senzel’s late jump, but the ball skipped into the outfield, allowing Abrams to cross home with his arms extended. Senzel became the 17th Nationals player to steal a base this season, helping Washington to its major league-best 97th stolen base.
Irvin then began his trot back to the dugout and peeked over his shoulder as the next routine flyball landed in Jesse Winker’s glove in left field. On his route back, he let out three fist pumps — each about a second apart — and punched his glove before disappearing into the dugout with one final fist pump.It ended his outing at six scoreless innings. He allowed just four hits and two walks, striking out four with limited hard contact.
