VIDEO: Ender Inciarte's Slick Slide and Freddie Freeman's RBI Single Put Braves on Top of Nationals
By Michael Luciano
Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte is more than just a speedy outfielder with excellent defense -- he's apparently an amateur illusionist. Inciarte scrambled home on an Erick Fedde wild pitch, making it home safely and giving the Braves a 1-0 lead over the Washington Nationals thanks to a mind-bending slide that just managed to evade Fedde's tag.

To many, it appeared as if Inciarte didn't touch home plate and was gunned down, but the play was reviewed and Inciarte was determined to have evaded the tag.
I am shocked. Ender got away with one

Yeah, we're not sure exactly how it happened either.
But this one wasn't much of a question. After an Ozzie Albies leadoff double, Freddie Freeman promptly plated him with an RBI single.

It's 2-0 Braves as they look to rebound after Monday's deflating loss.
