					| Late Rally by Braves Secures 5-3 Win |  
					| The Washington Nationals got a sterling performance from pitcher Danny Diaz, but the Atlanta Braves still prevailed, 5-3. Diaz threw 6.0 innings of 5-hit ball. Sam Schrecengost finished the game for Atlanta and earned his 5th save. For the Nationals, the loss makes them 6-10. 
 Manny Vergara, the four-time All-Star , had a direct impact on the outcome. Vergara contributed a run-scoring  walk in the top of the ninth inning to put Atlanta up, 5-3.
 
 "Been a rough stretch for us," said Washington manager Mike Shore.
