VIDEO: Josh Donaldson Unloads Absolute Tank of a Home Run to Extend Braves' Lead Over Nationals

Goodbye baseball. The Atlanta Braves got out to an early lead over the Washington Nationals when Nick Markakis delivered a two-run single in the first inning. Since then, Kevin Gausman has pitched like the guy Braves fans have been expecting to see for a while, and then Josh Donaldson added another run on the board with this monster blast.

Juan Soto didn't even move. That ball sailed over his head in a hurry and deep into the left field seats. It's now 3-0 Braves and they're cruising.

If they can hold on they'll salvage a crucial four-game series split against their division rival.
