Washington Nationals at Atlanta Braves
Final
Recap
ATLANTA -- Jake Irvin held the Braves hitless over five innings before leaving with an injury, and the Washington Nationals defeated Atlanta 2-0 with a combined one-hitter Saturday. Michael Harris led off the seventh with a clean single to center against Brad Lord for the Braves' only hit. A call that was overturned and then disputed put two runners on for Atlanta, but Ozzie Albies popped out, Dominic Smith flied out and Austin Riley fanned to preserve the shutout. Lord worked three innings before Richard Lovelady turned in a perfect ninth for his fourth save.
