Nationals outfielders Victor Robles and Juan Soto overrun a double by the Braves' Freddie Freeman in the seventh inning Sunday night. A 7-1 defeat left Washington with a split of the four-game series, keeping Atlanta without close company atop the National League East. The Nationals couldn’t quite solve Braves starter Kevin Gausman, despite a handful of loud outs, managing to score just once as he turned in seven solid innings. “But today their guy went out and pitched really well.”Washington never did cover the first two runs Ross allowed. For the first time in 27 contests, the Nationals weren’t tied or ahead in the seventh inning or later.
