Nats Nightly

Tanner Roark won his fourth straight outing and his 13th of the year as the Washington Nationals beat the Atlanta Braves 9-1 to take 2 of 3 in D.C. Roark went seven strong on 99 pitches and the Nats got hits from 7 of 8 position players as they knocked Braves' right-hander Tyrell Jenkins out early and cruised to a win that left them 69-47 in 2016 as they head out on the road to Colorado for a three-game set with the Rockies.
