CJ Abrams made an impact in the 4-3 Washington win over Atlanta. Abrams, who is tied for 2nd in the NL in stolen bases with 33, was 4-5 with a double and 3 singles, while scoring 3. Cade Cavalli, the winning pitcher, is now 6-13. He went 5 innings, allowing 2 runs on 2 hits, while fanning 3 and walking 4. DJ Herz was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 27 of 32 save opportunities.

Washington relied on the bat of Luis Garcia to get the win. The second baseman ripped a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Nationals ahead, 4-2. For the game, Garcia had 1 double and 1 triple in 4 at-bats.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Garcia, "one at-bat at a time."

The last-place Nationals lifted their record to 47-83.
