Michael Harris and Ronald Acuna Jr. both homered and the Atlanta Braves never looked back in a 12-2 win over the Washington Nationals. Harris had four hits in the game and drove in four runs. Acuna snapped out of a mini slump with his first homer in a couple of weeks and finished with two hits. Charlie Morton was excellent again on the mound allowing two runs over seven innings to go along with seven strikeouts.
