Dansby Swanson hit a two-out, two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth inning to cap a four-run rally that gave the Atlanta Braves a stunning 7-6 victory over the Washington Nationals.

With the Braves trailing 6-3, Adam Duvall made it close with a two-run shot off Daniel Hudson that just cleared the wall.

Then, with the Braves down to their final out, Swanson drove one over the wall in right-center for the game winner.

The rally ruined a memorable night for Washington rookie Luis Garcia, who became the first player born in the 2000s to homer in the majors.
