Braves News: Matt Olson slump, Bryce Elder success, more

The Braves continued to struggle with day games on Wednesday, as they fell to the Nationals 3-2. This loss was especially irritating as a result of costly baserunning mistakes that the Braves made. On the bright side, Bryce Elder once again dominated a bad lineup, with 5.2 innings of one run ball and 6 strikeouts. Ronald Acuna and Michael Harris also had good games, each collecting two hits. Fortunately, the Brewers handled the Mets, so the division lead did not change.
