ATLANTA (AP) — Michael Harris II homered twice, Hurston Waldrep pitched six innings of one-run ball and the Atlanta Braves beat the Washington Nationals 3-2 on Tuesday night for their 10th straight victory. Six of those wins have come against the last-place Nationals, including Atlanta’s first four-game sweep (from Sept. 15-17) of the Washington/Montreal franchise. Despite the longest active win streak in the majors, the Braves (75-83) have already been eliminated from playoff contention. Atlanta Braves' Michael Harris II flashes a chain to the crowd after hitting a solo home run in the seventh inning of a baseball game against the Washington Nationals, Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2025, in Atlanta. Waldrep’s .857 win percentage is the highest by a rookie in franchise history (since 1900) with at least 10 appearances.
