Nationals rookie Dylan Crews hit a tiebreaking home run in the second inning before leaving the game injured in the sixth as Washington beat the Atlanta Braves 5-3 on Tuesday night.

Crews, the second overall pick in the 2023 MLB amateur draft, walked in his second plate appearance in the fifth before being replaced in center field by Nasim Nunez in the top of the sixth. Crews left the game due to a sore left side and lower back. He is expected to get an MRI on Wednesday.

Crews hit a solo shot with two out in the second inning off Atlanta ace Spencer Strider that snapped a 3-all tie. The home run completed his first set of home runs in consecutive games played. He hit a three-run shot in Sunday’s 10-4 win at Baltimore.
