WASHINGTON (AP) — Juan Soto had another big hit in his impressive rookie season http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-catfish-hunter-jersey , though it came long after most of the Nationals Park crowd had gone home.Soto’s two-run single highlighted a four-run eighth inning and the Washington Nationals rallied past the Milwaukee Brewers for a 5-4 win in a game that was delayed 1 hour, 57 minutes by rain in the top of the eighth and ended well past midnight.“It’s a testament to the boys. They don’t quit,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. “They wanted to get back out there and play. They got the field ready. Stopped raining for us. We were able to come back and get a big win.”With Washington trailing 3-1 in the eighth, Adam Eaton capped a nine-pitch at-bat with a two-out double off Joakim Soria (1-1). Trea Turner then lofted a single to left to make it 3-2. After Turner stole second Bryce Harper and Anthony Rendon walked to load the bases.With close Josh Hader unavailable, Dan Jennings came on to face Soto, who singled up the middle on a 2-2 pitch, scoring Turner and Harper with his third hit of the night.“I was there to fight,” Soto said. “I know he got a little bit problem, sometimes he (balks). So, I know he’s going to throw the fastball because he doesn’t feel very comfortable doing his move.”Rendon then scored on a wild pitch by Jordan Lyles.“Dan did his job,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said of Jennings. “He gives up a ground ball and that’s what we’re asking Dan to do is get a ground ball … but Soto hit a ground ball up the middle.”Washington’s Greg Holland (1-2) retired Manny Pina with the bases loaded to end the eighth and Justin Miller survived Tyler Saladino’s pinch-hit solo homer in the ninth for his second save.Pina had two hits including a seventh-inning home run.Milwaukee saw its three-game winning streak snapped one day after acquiring a trio of veterans, pitchers Gio Gonzalez and Xavier Cedeno, and outfielder Curtis GrandersonBrewers starter Chase Anderson gave up a run and four hits over five innings before the bullpen lost the lead.“I think we’ll be fine,” Anderson said of the loss. “I know how we respond to things. Our bullpen’s picked up the starters a lot this year. Just gotta pick those guys up.”Washington’s Stephen Strasburg allowed two runs on five hits over six innings while striking out seven.Strasburg held the Brewers to one hit through four innings Rollie Fingers Jersey , but they broke through in the fifth.After Mike Moustakas doubled, Jonathan Schoop’s smash deflected off Rendon’s glove at third and down the line. As Rendon jogged after it, Moustakas scored. With two outs, Christian Yelich lined a single just beyond the reach of a leaping second baseman Wilmer Difo to make it 2-0.Washington got one back on Difo’s infield single in the bottom half.FAREWELL GIOFormer National Gonzalez was the subject of a pregame video tribute and received a warm ovation. It’s unclear how he’ll be used by Milwaukee, which has named starting pitchers — none of them Gonzalez — through Wednesday. “He will play a role,” manager Craig Counsell said. “He started (last Wednesday). He’s not available to pitch right now. When he’s able to pitch here, he will get outs for us.”WELCOME TO THE TEAMBrewers: Recalled C Jacob Nottingham, INF Tyler Saladino, OF Domingo Santana and RHP Brandon Woodruff from Triple-A Colorado Springs; and OF Keon Broxton from Class-A Wisconsin.Nationals: Recalled C Pedro Severino and selected the contract of RHP Austen Williams from Triple-A Syracuse.TRAINER’S ROOMNationals: C Matt Wieters is dealing with a hip/groin issue that has bothered him since Washington’s series in Philadelphia earlier this week. That prompted Severino’s recall. … RHP Jeremy Hellickson (right hamstring strain) threw a bullpen session Saturday.UP NEXTBrewers: RHP Junior Guerra (6-9, 4.09) is 0-4 with a 7.28 ERA over his last eight starts. He’s 1-0 with a 1.88 ERA in three career games — two starts — versus Washington.Nationals: Rookie RHP Jefry Rodriguez (2-1, 4.54) has a 1.69 ERA over his last three starts. He’s making his first start against Milwaukee. ATLANTA (AP) Freddie Freeman’s tiebreaking home run moved the Atlanta Braves closer to first place – just in time for a little boost from the front office a day before the trade deadline.Freeman hit a go-ahead homer in the third inning, Ronald Acuna Jr. also went deep and the Braves beat the Miami Marlins 5-3 on Monday night to move a half-game behind first-place Philadelphia in the NL East.Following the game, the Braves announced they had acquired outfielder Adam Duvall from the Cincinnati Reds for three players who had been with Triple-A Gwinnett: right-handers Lucas Sims and Matt Wisler and outfielder Preston Tucker.”It’s nice to be adding players instead of subtracting like we’ve done the last few years,” Freeman said.Before adding Duvall http://www.athleticsfanproshop.com/authentic-terry-steinbach-jersey , the Braves acquired veteran relievers Brad Brach and Jonny Venters.With Brach making his Atlanta debut with a scoreless eighth, four relievers combined for four scoreless innings.”That was really big because they were under some duress,” said Braves manager Brian Snitker. ”… Anytime you add that depth to your bullpen, it’s going to help.”Brian Anderson’s two-run homer off Julio Teheran (8-7) in the first gave Miami a lead Wei-Yin Chen (3- Cool

couldn’t hold.The Braves pulled even in the second when Tyler Flowers walked, moved to third on Johan Camargo’s double and scored on Ender Inciarte’s fly ball. Camargo scored on Teheran’s two-out single up the middle.Freeman’s homer, his 18th, in the third gave Atlanta the lead . Flowers walked and scored from first on another double to left by Camargo.After J.T. Realmuto’s run-scoring double in the fifth cut Atlanta’s lead to 4-3, Acuna led off the bottom of the inning with his 10th homer , just over the reach of Magneuris Sierra in center field.A.J. Minter pitched the ninth for his sixth save in six chances.Chen’s road struggles continued as he allowed five runs in five innings.Chen has a 10.27 ERA in nine road starts. It’s a dramatic contrast to his 2.18 mark in eight home starts. According to figures from Elias Sports Bureau, the 8.09 gap between Chen’s home and road ERA was the highest for any pitcher in the majors with five or more home and road starts.”He just doesn’t seem the same on the road,” said Marlins manager Don Mattingly. ”Again, not sure why.”Teheran needed 98 pitches to pitch five innings. He allowed three runs on four hits and four walks.Brach, acquired from Baltimore on Sunday in exchange for international bonus pool allotment, made his Atlanta debut by giving up one hit in a scoreless eighth.TRAINER’S ROOMBraves: LHP Sam Freeman was placed on the 10-day disabled list Dave Henderson Jersey , retroactive to Sunday, with left shoulder inflammation. The move cleared a spot on the active roster for Brach.STAYING CLOSEAnderson said it was another case of the Marlins losing a competitive game.”We’ve done a really good job of battling in these games and fighting and keeping them close,” he said. ”… We’re getting to their starters, getting them out of the game and getting deep in the bullpen. We’ve just got to finish them off.”ALLARD COMING UPThe Braves will call up left-hander Kolby Allard to start Tuesday night’s game against Miami. It will be the major league debut for Allard, 20, a first-round pick in 2015 who was 6-4 with a 2.80 ERA for Triple-A Gwinnett this season.Snitker said the move will give his other starters an additional day of rest, though Snitker wouldn’t commit to a strict six-man rotation. Left-hander Sean Newcomb threw a career-high 134 pitches while coming within one out of a no-hitter in Sunday’s 4-1 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers.Snitker said Newcomb likely will need ”an extra day or two” before his next start.Newcomb apologized in a team meeting before the game for racist, homophobic and sexist tweets he sent as a teenager. The tweets resurfaced after Sunday’s game.ON DECKMarlins: RHP Dan Straily (4-4, 4.07 ERA) will look for his third win over Atlanta this season in Tuesday’s night’s game. He is 4-2 with a 4.35 ERA in eight career starts against Atlanta, including 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA this season.Braves: Allard has a 2.96 ERA in 64 career minor league starts. He spent the full 2017 season with Double-A Mississippi, where he had a 3.18 ERA.—
