ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves closed a four-game home set against the Washington Nationals the way division leaders prefer to finish weekends: with a clean Sunday win and a full series sweep.

According to the Associated Press recap carried on ESPN, Mike Yastrzemski homered and drove in two runs, Matt Olson also went deep, and Atlanta beat Washington 4–2 on Aug. 2 at Truist Park. The AP account described it as Atlanta’s first four-game sweep since winning four at the Nationals in September 2025, and the first time Washington had been swept in a four-game series all season — and the first time ever in Atlanta.
