As their rotation gained a little clarity, the Nationals erupted in the fourth inning to score an 8-5 victory.
Joey Gallo, Jacob Young and Nick Senzel celebrate after scoring on CJ Abrams's fourth-inning double Sunday at Nationals Park. After three innings Sunday afternoon, just about the last thing it seemed the Washington Nationals would do was rally to win a four-game series against the Atlanta Braves for the second time in two weeks.
The Nationals hadn’t experienced this exact predicament before — playing on their 17th day in a row, they struggled through three hitless innings against a pitcher who was making his major league debut, Braves right-hander Hurston Waldrep. But they had gone through similar lows and, with their third straight win and 17th comeback victory of the season, experienced the process of getting that joy back.“Being more patient,” Martinez said.
“It was hype,” said left-hander DJ Herz, who in his second major league start allowed two runs, struck out five and walked three in 4⅓ innings. “I was going crazy. I was clapping my hands. I was screaming. I was like, ‘Let’s go do this!’ ”
