Atlanta Braves
Ozzie Albies and the Braves got off to a hot start on Friday night and lead the first game of their series with Washington, 8–3.
Albies switched places in the batting order with Ronald Acuna Jr., hitting second instead of his usual leadoff. He hit an RBI double and scored Atlanta’s second run of the game in the first but left later with a tight hamstring. Charlie Culberson has gone 2-for-4 since coming on to replace him.

It was a precaution, but a concerning one at that. The Braves survived a month-plus without Acuna but they can ill afford to lose Albies.
Sean Newcomb really struggled in his final starts before the break. He’s up over 100 innings on the season after throwing that many as a rookie last season. He should be rejuvenated after the break but how will he sustain himself into August and September?
Washington Nationals
Stephen Strasburg failed to get through five innings in his return on Friday night. He gave up eight hits and six runs before getting the hook with two outs in that fifth.
He was one of eight Nats batters to record exactly one hit. That’s at least as of the eighth inning; the game isn’t over yet, though the Nats trail by five.

Juan Soto hit a two-run homer to make it 8–5 in the eighth inning. He’s now hitting .380 with a .720 slugging percentage this season against lefties, the best numbers for any left-handed batter with at least 50 at-bats against a lefty pitchers this season.
