					| Nationals Earn 7-6 Win Versus Braves |  
					| The Washington Nationals downed the Atlanta Braves, 7-6. The hitting star was second baseman John Sanders. Sanders was 1 for 1 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for the Nationals. Manuel Romero was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 18 of 23 save opportunities. Washington now has a record of 105-47 with the win. 
 Sanders contributed a big hit, a grand slam home run, for Washington in the top of the ninth. With his team trailing 6-3, Sanders took a slider from Micah Basinger and stroked the home run to left. His 35th home run of the season allowed the Nationals to leap in front, 7-6.
 
 "I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Sanders.
