Seventh Inning


The seventh inning saw both teams still locked in a scoreless tie. Atlanta's pitching staff was particularly effective during this period, allowing only one more hit by Washington and keeping their batting lineup in check.


Tenth Inning


The turning point came in the tenth inning when Atlanta's offense exploded for five runs on three hits. This offensive surge was led by Marcell Ozuna and Matt Olson, whose combined efforts helped break open what had been an evenly matched contest up until that point. On the mound for Atlanta, Tyler Kinley played a crucial role by maintaining his composure and preventing any scoring opportunities for Washington throughout his time pitching.

In terms of individual performances from previous games leading up to this matchup against Washington: Marcell Ozuna had shown promise with an average of .250 and an OPS of .9; Matt Olson contributed significantly as well with three RBIs despite having just two hits out of ten attempts over recent games; meanwhile pitcher Chris Sale maintained an impressive ERA of zero across eight innings pitched prior to facing off against Nats’ batters today – all factors contributing towards today’s successful outcome according our post-game report Braves analysis here!
