His condition has been classified as \"day-to-day,\" which alleviates the initial concern in the Atlanta team.\n\nAcu\u00f1a had already been hit previously in the protection of his left arm in the fourth inning, before the hit on the hand that caused him to leave the game. He was replaced in right field by Eli White.\n\nDespite the scare, the Braves maintained their great collective moment and extended their winning streak to six, consolidating themselves as the team with the most wins in the Major Leagues at the start of this season.\n\nThe game changed in the sixth inning, when Atlanta scored five runs. Drake Baldwin hit a two-run double that gave them the lead, while Michael Harris II added a run-scoring single to extend the lead.\n\nHarris continues to be hot with the bat, batting 11-26 with three home runs in his last eight games.\n\nBefore, Matt Olson had tied the score with a two-run home run in the fourth inning, his sixth of the season. The first baseman maintains an impressive record at Nationals Park, where he has 13 home runs in just 30 games.\n\nFor the Nationals, Daylen Lile had momentarily put his team ahead with a home run at the start of the fourth inning.\n\nThe encounter also had moments of tension when both benches received warnings after a hit by pitcher Bryce Elder on CJ Abrams, who subsequently scored a run.\n\nWith their offense in great form and despite a rotation affected by injuries, Atlanta continues to show arguments to be profiled as one of the most solid teams of the season.\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>United States.
