Nationals vs. Braves Game Highlights (9/24/25) | MLB Highlights
And on the mound, getting his final start of the 2025 season is number 55 Bryce Elder and it’s been a really good run here lately for Bryce. Elder. Five of his last six starts have been quality starts. It will be number eight overall. Ignore that era. He’s been throwing the baseball a lot better here lately. Kind of back on track out to center Michael Harris who was yesterday’s hero for the Braves with a couple homers makes the catch this ball hammered out to right center by CJ Abrams that’s going to hit off the wall. He’s going to have to hustle to get the second for double number 35 Abrams. Now 6 to 13 career against Elder , one of two nats who have handled him pretty well. Bell inside out to left ball falling. That’s going to be in there and to third CJ Abrams reading it and the Nets in business here with Dalen Lyle coming up up the middle and the Nats are on top. Abrams scores. Bell checks in at second three consecutive hits right out of the gate on getaway day. Lyle staying inside of baseball right here. Fighting the hands. I mean, just a beautiful swing bouncer did not show he’ll step on the double play. The Nationals do draw first blood Bravo’s coming up. Andrew Alvarez getting his fifth start here in the big leagues. Third one on the road. 284, er, a 3 to 2 and a big hook to come back and get that strikeout and for his 16th in his 20th inning of work, Alvarez , perfect slider right here. That’s on the inside edge to get him looking. Aha likes to jam the plate and he just got jammed by Alvarez who strikes out two one on deck and robert Hassell. Now it’s the catcher Jorge Alfaro 12 and he chased a slider did Alfaro. There’s the first strikeout today for Bryce Elder got him to go after that slider and a 123 innings with a couple of strikeouts for the double nickel , three two lined out to second off the glove of the second baseman Lou garcia and rolling across the grass and shallow center field and just enough on it first base runner of the game for the raves, the payoff pitch to the big bear and that’s outside. So two on with one out, that thing really came up in garcia and that probably prevents the double play that looked like an easy one hopper and Then it just took off on Luis good off speed pitch and the pop up left side, eyeballing it. Paul de young foul ball when he makes that grab the single, the walk. Not a problem. That’s by 122, strike, three call pro far punched out by Alvarez. How about the hitter so far? Two on this guy and Ronald Lacuna Junior the other when he’s needed, he spotted up that fastball. This is best fastball command we’ve seen, especially with two strikes, got him swinging a fastball up and in strikes out Olson wrap up a 123 frame for Andrew Alvarez. Josh Bell 11 top of the fourth. Oh, there’s a loud sound to center and a towering fly ball. See you later, Josh Bell back in the lineup. Two for two and that’s number 21. What do you think about the location of that pitch in inner third? Right? Not towards the heart but inner third inside out swing, but he gets through it and you take ball four low leadoff, walk here in the fourth inning, but it’s a ground ball to Josh. Nice little pick Alvarez on the move. That’s really well done when the first baseman has to come in that far for makes the play more complicated. That’s right in there with a breaking ball. Ozuna three called strikes there and for a K number five, you can’t do it any better than that. He struck out far both times. See this too often. This is three straight sinkers, right? It was the smaller one, the bigger one and Then the smaller one Bryce Elder, he doesn’t have an immaculate inning, but he does have a chance at striking out the side. He will not strike out the side , but he is going to get a 1 to 2 to 3 inning here in the top of the fifth. Good work by Bryce Elder. Michael Harris continues his hot hitting ways. Takes the first pitch here in the bottom of the fifth and lines it to center. Here’s the other Alvarez and that’s a wild pitch that will immediately put Harris at second. Michael takes off for third base , got a great jump and he stole it easily four stolen bases. This series for Michael Harris popped him up. What a good battle for Alvarez right handed batter staying on everything. So andrew retires nacho and he misses too high with a fastball ball four and all in all. It’s going to be a solid big league debut sequence here for Andrew Alvarez. It will take him into his fifth start. It Parker. Who knows how long he might be pitching today. He’s next. Look like it caught the corner. No strike called it’s ball four and now the bases are loaded. This is going to work out for the nets infield fly rule in effect, Paul De Young two outs and it’s hard to believe that Olson has been retired by the Nats in this series 13 times, breaking ball hit on the ground to the middle garcia comes in, has it near the bag steps on second and Mitchell Parker has done it again. Getting another one on there to the insurance policy here right now. You look at the top of the lineup. This is when you want it to happen. Your big gun. That ball hammered high in the air. Deep left center. See you way later, James Wood number 29. Is he back? It could be a fun weekend if he is. Oh my goodness. This ball was smashed middle away sinker and that ball was launched at 1 12 445 ft. Drake’s working on a seven game hitting streak but he’s zero for two today. Drake Baldwin scorched right center on that rookie of the year resume is getting more and more impressive here in the latter stages of 2025 slider swing and a Miss garcia Jr is down, that is seven strikeouts today for Elder. Elder is going to get through seven a fly out to left. So a good final start of the year for Bryce Elder. That’s two too many walks to the number nine hitter today. But nationals pitchers are all over the strike zone here, two passes and now it’s Olson and, and Olsen is zero for 14 against the NATS in this series. Oh, no, there goes your double play possibility on a pitch up but way up wise, lead to third and pro far to second. Now two outs in the inning. Peter elevates and it will be him against Baldwin. I know if he’s trying to go this spot. Exactly. But end up being a perfect pitch swing and a miss, let’s go a no contact seventh in the sixth inning. He has three hits in the series. Another loud sound straight away center. See you later. He reaches the 30 home run plateau, his 92nd run bat at the end of the year with home runs in consecutive at bats. A multi homer game for James Wood Braves have had runners today CJ but zero for 11. Unfortunately, with runners in scoring position, Marcelo cranks this out to right center, it’s headed to and that’s where it lands a big fly for the big bear 4 to 2 here in the eight I think of beauty right there for Pierce Johnson. It would be great if you can get out of this without now this run scoring insurance run at third and here is the catcher Jorge Alfaro who’s going to get to it can, oh, it’s a that gets there on the diving grab that prevents the fifth run of the game from scoring here in the top of the ninth huge day. I think more than anything for Jose Ferrer because you get that 70 game mark feather in the cap for any reliever. Their outfielder Eli White pinch hitting to lead off from the right side. Eli White first pitch he sees he sends to deep center. It is a splash. The Chattahoochee falls for Eli White to make it a one run game. Did he go? He did. And it’s 15 times. The Nets have gotten Olson out in this series. Cunha is the Braves final home out to short charging Abram scoops fires over close play and they got him and this will likely be reviewed. It will be and was taken on the second hop by Abrams really close play over there at first base. After the call on the field is overturned. The runner is safe chopper right side. Here comes Garcia, he shoveled it instead of throwing it and the, and the Nets will have a look Garcia with a long glove flip instead of trying to get it out of the glove and use his throwing hand. The NATS are going to win this challenge. His foot was still in the air game is over. Nats win it able to hold on for their final road game of the year. And just like that, the 10 game win streak is over.
