Another day, another victory for the red-hot Atlanta Braves.

Starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg pitched well enough to help the Atlanta Braves beat the Washington Nationals, 6-3. Atlanta, at 62-41, is 5½ games up in the National League East Division.

Atlanta used the bat of Freddie Freeman to get the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Braves ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"I believe in our guys," said Atlanta skipper Tyler Rumpel. "I like the energy they're playing with."
