WASHINGTON (AP) - Adam Dunn homered, Washington's beleaguered relievers tossed three scoreless innings for the second day in a row and the Nationals beat the Atlanta Braves 4-3 Tuesday night for their second consecutive victory.
After opening the season 0-7, then dropping to 1-10, Washington is 3-10. Atlanta has lost five of six games.
Played following a 61-minute rain delay, this game was filled with all sorts of miscues: three errors, other misplays in the field, a few running mistakes, failed sacrifice bunt attempts and more.
Shairon Martis (2-0) went six innings and gave up three runs - two earned.
