Atlanta Gets by Nats, 2-1
Game 16, Braves at Nationals
Atlanta squeaked by Washington 2-1 Thursday with the help of Mother Nature. With rain falling most of the day, Christian Guzman's throw to first on Raul Mondesi's bases-loaded grounder in the ninth got past Nick Johnson, allowing both Braves' runs and giving Atlanta the win.
The costly error only adds to Guzman's poor debut to his Nationals career, as he has struggled to a .140 batting average to start the year.
The Nationals wasted a great pitching performance by John Patterson, who shut-out Atlanta on two hits for seven innings. Closer Chad Cordero takes the loss with his second blown save of the season.
Box Score and Recap
The Nationals completed their first-ever homestand with 4-3 record, and now head out on the road to face their division-rivals, the New York Mets at Shea Stadium beginning Friday night.
