Atlanta Braves starter JR Ritchie found his groove in his team's 5-2 win over the Washington Nationals. Reliever Zack Qin picked up the win. His record improves to 1-0. Cole Henry took the loss. Jose Chavez closed the game out for Atlanta, earning his 35th save.

Atlanta took a 3-1 lead on Sabin Ceballos's 35th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Ceballos hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Washington pitcher Cole Henry visibly frustrated.

"JR didn't beat around the bush," said Atlanta field general Ron Roeble. "He was all business."

The triumph puts Atlanta at 75-73 for the season.
