Washington Nationals starter Kelvin Purcell pitched well against the Atlanta Braves at Nationals Park, leading his team to a win, 5-3. The winning pitcher was Purcell, now 12-10. He tossed 7.1 innings of 3-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 5. Josh Stephens earned save number 38 this season.

Ernie Pinos had a big 2-run home run for the Nationals in the bottom of the third inning. With Washington leading 2-0 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a fastball from Jose Moreno, who is on pace for 203 strikeouts this season, and punished it. The result was his 32nd home run of the season, which put the Nationals on top, 4-0.

Purcell called the win "a collective effort."

Washington leads the National League East Division by 5 games.
