Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Ian Desmond homered, tripled and knocked in three runs, as the Washington Nationals bested the Atlanta Braves, 6-3, in the second installment of a four-game series at Turner Field.

Braves, Nats resume series at Turner Field Fri Oct  2 10:43:07 2009 EST
(Sports Network) - Not even a visit from the team with the worst record in baseball was enough to get the Braves back on track. Now officially eliminated from playoff contention, Atlanta continues a four-game series with the Washington Nationals this evening at Turner Field. The Braves are in the midst of a back-breaking three-game losing streak that was extended with last night's 2-1 setback. Colorado's victory over Milwaukee on Thursday officially eliminated Atlanta from the wild card race. F
Orr lifts Nats over Braves Thu Oct  1 22:51:59 2009 EST
Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - Pete Orr's RBI single in the ninth inning was the difference, as the Washington Nationals edged the Atlanta Braves, 2-1, in the opener of a four-game set. "It was nice, there's some very good people over there. I have nothing but respect for everyone in the Braves organization," said Orr, who played for Atlanta from 2005-2007. Prior to the game, the Colorado Rockies beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 9-2, to clinch the NL wild card and thwart any postseason hopes the Bra
Braves to host Nationals with backs to the wall Thu Oct  1 10:51:54 2009 EST
(Sports Network) - The Atlanta Braves nearly pulled off an incredible rally to keep their playoff hopes alive. Instead, they are now on the brink of elimination. Atlanta begins a season-ending four-game series with the Washington Nationals at Turner Field this evening four games behind National League Wild Card- leading Colorado with four to play. That means a loss by the Braves tonight, or a Rockies victory over the Brewers, would eliminate Atlanta from postseason play for a fourth straight se
Nats aim for sweep of Mets Wed Sep 30 10:46:15 2009 EST
(Sports Network) - The Washington Nationals will try to sweep the New York Mets this afternoon in the finale of a three-game set at Nationals Park. Washington had lost four straight and 10 of its previous 12 games before taking the first two contests of this set. It last swept New York on September 24-26, 2007. The Nationals have recorded a pair of one-run victories over the Mets, winning Monday's opener, 2-1, before a 4-3 victory last night. Rookie Ian Desmond hit his second-career homer, whil
Mets' Pelfrey tries to end road woes in Washington Tue Sep 29 10:51:11 2009 EST
(Sports Network) - Mike Pelfrey will try to pick up his first road victory in almost three months this evening, when the New York Mets continue a three-game series with the Washington Nationals at Nationals Park. Pelfrey has dropped each of his last five road decisions, having not won as the guest since July 1 in Milwaukee. In 13 road starts in 2009, the right- hander is just 4-7 with a 7.00 earned run average. The 25-year-old is also coming off back-to-back home losses to Washington and Atlant

e that momentum all the way to the World Series.

Now, it's the Braves who are trying to do the same thing to Colorado. Atlanta appears to have the more favorable schedule with its last six games at home, four of them against the 103-loss Washington Nationals. Colorado hosts Milwaukee for three games starting Tuesday, then hits the road for its final series against the NL-leading Los Angeles Dodgers.

es, who are off today. The Braves are also within five games of the first-place Phillies in the NL East, though Philadelphia has a magic number of three to win the division. Atlanta needed an extra inning to sweep a three-game set with the Washington Nationals on Sunday, but plated three runs in the 10th frame to claim a 6-3 victory. The win was Atlanta's 10th in a row on the road, one shy of the club record set during the 1956 seasons. The Braves will have to wait until next season if they want
Mets resume final road trip with stop in Washington Mon Sep 28 11:22:23 2009 EST
(Sports Network) - The Washington Nationals had hoped to take some steps forward this year. Instead, they have now lost more games in 2009 than they did last season. Washington will try to snap a four-game slide tonight in the opener of a three-game series with the New York Mets at Nationals Park. The Nats' extra-inning 6-3 defeat versus the Atlanta Braves on Sunday gave them 103 losses on the season, one more than the lowly club had a year ago. With six games left on the schedule, Washington n
