WASHINGTON (AP) - Kelly Johnson drew a bases-loaded walk from Mike Hinckley in the ninth inning, lifting the Atlanta Braves to a 1-0 victory over the Washington Nationals on Wednesday night.
The Braves won for the second time in seven games. The Nationals, who took the first two games of the three-game series, dropped to 3-11 - the worst record in the majors.
The game was scoreless through eight, with Jair Jurrjens pitching 7 2-3 innings for Atlanta and John Lannan seven for Washington.
Matt Diaz singled with one out in the ninth against Garrett Mock (0-1) and was forced at second on Casey Kotchman's grounder. Mock walked Jordan Schafer before Hinckley issued free passes to pinch-hitter Martin Prado and Johnson.
