Nationals vs. Braves: Kris Medlen shuts down Washington, which misses a chance to sweep<\/a> – The Post<\/em>
\nNo sweep, but no worries for Nats<\/a> – CSN Washington<\/em>
\nStop me if you’ve heard this before — the Washington Nationals win the first two games of the series but can’t finish off the sweep. That happened again last night as the Atlanta Braves won 5-1. Kris Medlen outpitched Ross Detwiler and the Nats gave up three extra runs late. Can’t win them all. A sweep would have been really sweet though, because it might have all but buried the Braves. However, the Braves staying within striking distance might be good for the Nats.<\/p>\n

Overall, things are looking pretty good in Natstown, particularly when you consider that a year ago, they were still getting “invaded” by Phillies fans. Oh how times have changed, Thomas Boswell notes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I could have done without a Chipper Jones tribute<\/a> (The Wash. Times<\/em>) last night, though from what I was seeing on Twitter, they trolled him a little bit. Good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
