September 21: Nationals 3, Braves 2

The Atlanta Braves saw their five-game winning streak come to an end Wednesday afternoon with a disappointing 3-2 loss to the Washington Nationals. Atlanta jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but were unable to add on as shaky base running proved costly late. Bryce Elder turned in another good performance on the mound allowing one run over 5 2/3 innings. However, a big two-run home run by former farmhand Joey Meneses in the seventh was the difference.
