Nats Nightly

Tanner Roark got the start tonight when Stephen Strasburg was scratched due to an illness, and the Washington Nationals' right-hander came up big against the Atlanta Braves, tossing seven scoreless innings on 100 pitches in what ended up a 3-0 win. It was the Nats' 13th straight win over the Braves in the nation's capital and their fifth win in five games against Atlanta to start the season, leaving them 6-1 overall so far in 2016.
