Sunday's Braves Report: Newcomb strugged early in loss
Braves fall in series finale
Bryce Harper and Anthony Rendon led Washington to a 6-4 win over Atlanta with two-run homers, rookie Juan Soto adding a late RBI for insurance.
Atlanta dropped to 38-36 at home in losing to Tanner Roark (9-15). Sean Newcomb (12-9) struggled, throwing 31 pitches in the first inning and lasting only three innings.
Since flirting with a no-hitter on July 29, he has lost four of five in Atlanta.
