ATLANTA — Carter Kieboom, Jake Alu, Keibert Ruiz, Dominic Smith and Lane Thomas homered to help the Washington Nationals beat the Atlanta Braves 10-6 on Friday night. Washington tied a season high for homers on a night the NL East champion Braves started resting regulars to prepare for the postseason. Jordan Weems (5-0) picked up the win with one inning of relief, and Kyle Finnegan closed out the game. The Nationals used six relievers after starter Trevor Williams gave up two runs and seven hits in 3 1/3 innings. Ronald Acuña Jr. went 1 for 2 with a run and two steals before being pulled after two innings. He tied the Braves' steals record of 72, set by Otis Nixon in 1991.
