Spencer Strider earned his major league-leading 19th win and the Atlanta Braves got their 100th victory of the season Sunday night by defeating the Washington Nationals 8-5 for a doubleheader split.
Kevin Pillar and Forrest Wall homered, and Orlando Arcia drove in three runs for Atlanta , which has won 100 games in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 2002-03.
In the opener, rookie Jackson Rutledge earned his first major league victory as the Nationals won 3-2. Washington scored three runs in the third inning off Strider when Keibert Ruiz hit a two-run double and scored on García’s single two batters later. Allan Winans , recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett, allowed two runs and seven hits in five innings. He struck out six in his fifth start for the Braves.
