Michael Harris II hits 2 homers, Braves beat Nationals 3-2 for 10th straight win - Yahoo Sports

Atlanta stretched its win streak to 10 by riding Michael Harris II’s two homers and Ronald Acuña Jr.’s sixth-inning go-ahead shot, backed by Hurston Waldrep six innings of one-run ball. Raisel Iglesias nailed down the save as the Braves toppled Washington 3-2, completing a four-game set sweep. Ha-Seong Kim kept his timely-hitting streak alive, while Nasim Núñez added baserunning pressure to manufacture a key run. Washington’s offense fought back with CJ Abrams’ RBI single and James Wood’s eighth-inning homer, but fell short. Waldrep’s rookie dominance remains a bright fantasy note as Atlanta’s surge continues.

Despite the win streak, Atlanta has been eliminated from playoff contention. The Dodgers-like late-season push underscores the Braves’ depth and positional competition, with Harris II delivering mammoth power, Acuña delivering clutch moments, and Waldrep strengthening his case as a high-end rookie starter. Washington, though, showed flashes of life with Abrams and Wood powering a late rally, but the gap in the standings remains wide.

From this game, which Braves players should fantasy managers prioritize for the rest of the season?Which Nationals players present the best speculative add for the final weeks?Which two Braves pitchers should fantasy managers consider pairing with Waldrep for rest-of-season starts?What are the key fantasy implications of Acuña’s late-season surge for the rest of the year?
