Washington Nationals vs. Atlanta Braves: Game Highlights

Olson was 2 for 4 with a double and a run scored and Jim Jarvis was 3 for 3 with 2 RBI. Mauricio Dubón had two hits and two runs scored for the first-place Braves, who are 10-5 since the All-Star break.

Nationals starter Foster Griffin (12-3) struggled in what could have been his final start for the Nationals. Trade speculation has surrounded the 30-year-old left-handed rookie, who entered with a 2.76 ERA in 21 starts. Griffin gave up six runs on nine hits in 5 1/3 innings, including the home runs to Olson and Harris.

Bryce Elder (7-6) recorded his 12th quality start of the season, allowing one run in six innings. He gave up four hits and three walks. Elieser Hernández threw three scoreless innings for his first career save.

Harris broke the game open with a 421-foot three-run homer in the sixth inning that landed inside the Chop House restaurant in right field and gave the Braves a 5-1 lead. It was his 20th home run of the season, matching his career-high.

Atlanta native C.J. Abrams hit a solo home run in the fourth inning, his 28th. Andrés Chaparro hit a ninth inning home run, which gave the Nationals a franchise-record 50 home runs in the month of July.

The Nationals are 0 for 17 with runners in scoring position in the first two games of the series.

Washington first baseman Luis García Jr. left the game in the seventh inning with right knee soreness.

Up next Braves RHP Reynaldo López (4-3, 3.64) will face Nationals RHP Miles Mikolas (3-7, 5.65) in the third game of a four-game series Saturday night.
