WASHINGTON -- A matchup with National League wins leader Stephen Strasburg didnt slow down the Atlanta Braves offense Friday night.Jace Peterson, Freddie Freeman and Anthony Recker all homered as Atlanta defeated the Nationals 8-5, snapping a 14-game losing streak in Washington.Its been a couple of years since Ive been part of a win here, Freeman said.

Atlanta won for the 11th time in 17 games and improved to 5-3 on its road trip.Thats kind of the way weve been playing, Braves interim manager Brian Snitker said. Weve faced some pretty good pitching over the course of the summer and the guys are never down, theyre never out. Theyve been beat over the head for the majority of the season but they come and prepare. They grind out at-bats and leave it out on the field. The record is no indication of how I feel this team is.Strasburg (15-3) struggled at home again, surrendering six runs in 5 1/3 innings. He has a 9.00 ERA over 16 innings in his last three outings (all losses) at Nationals Park.This happens no matter who you are, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said. These things happen. He is not infallible. Hes human and sometimes you hit a bad period of time like this.Atlanta had not won in Washington since Sept. 10, 2014, and was 0-6 against the NL East leaders this season. But all of this years previous meetings came during the Braves 0-9 start.The Braves scored in the first and second innings before the Nationals rallied to take a 3-2 lead in the fourth with the help of Anthony Rendons 14th home run of the season.That wasnt a concern for Foltynewicz, whose teammates scored six runs in the next three innings.This offense, and I at least know it, they can do some special things, Foltynewicz said. I didnt have a worry in the world after I gave up that home run.He played a part with his bat on a humid night, doubling to lead off the fifth. After Erick Aybar singled with one out, Freeman smacked his 22nd home run to give the Braves the lead for good.Hes a really good hitter so its kind of been a back and forth for years now and I just got to do a better job of hitting my spots with him, Strasburg said. Didnt do that tonight and he beat me on it.Strasburg left trailing 5-3 with a man on base in the sixth, and Recker hit reliever Matt Belisles first pitch deep to left for his first homer this season.BRAVES ON THE MENDSeveral Braves begin rehabilitation assignments this weekend.
