Firebirds Flatten Nationals, 9-2
The home crowd had a good time watching the Washington Nationals and Atlanta Firebirds get after it.

The Atlanta Firebirds defeated the Washington Nationals, 9-2, in part because of right fielder Lou Brown. Brown went 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Firebirds. Simon Mercedes was the winner. Over 6 innings, he yielded 1 run on 5 hits, with 2 walks and 3 strikeouts.

Gleyber Torres, who finished 4th in the AL in triples with 7 in 2022, took Washington hurler Joey Gatto deep in the bottom of the third. His 2-run home run put the Firebirds on top, 2-1. In all, Torres had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

"We didn't pitch good, and when you don't pitch good, you lose," said Washington manager Mark Grudzielanek.

The winning streak has now reached 4 games for the Firebirds.
