Nationals Need Extras to Top Braves, Lead 1-0 in Series
One game in and the Wild Card Game is already looking exhausting.

The Washington Nationals and the Atlanta Braves needed 10 innings to settle Game 1, with the Nationals finally taking the 5-2 victory at Truist Park. Excelling in the win was Washington starting pitcher Triston McKenzie, who threw 5.1 innings allowing 2 runs. The Nationals and Braves are playing a best-of-3 series.

Washington used a clutch hit from Xander Bogaerts to get the win. The shortstop drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Nationals ahead, 4-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Our team showed some resilience," said McKenzie.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Truist Park in Atlanta.
