The Braves defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 3-1 on Wednesday and lead the Nationals by 9 ½ games in the NL East. Tyler Flowers belted a three-run home run and Dallas Keuchel fanned eight over six innings in Wednesday’s win over the Phillies.
Washington beat the Minnesota Twins on Wednesday 6-2 as Ryan Zimmerman hit a home run and knocked in three runs and Stephen Strasburg pitched six solid innings.
