On Tuesday evening in Washington, the Nationals achieved a 6-5 comeback victory against the Atlanta Braves. The game was decided in the bottom of the ninth inning when Juan Soto hit a single on a 3-0 count, driving in the winning run. This dramatic win was particularly significant for the Washington team, which was playing with a roster impacted by coronavirus issues, and it came after they had waited five days to begin their season schedule.
