Nationals rally, finish sweep of Atlanta, 5-4

Chris Graham

A two-run eighth-inning rally lifted the Washington Nationals to a 5-4 win over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday afternoon at Nationals Park. The win completes a weekend sweep of the Braves, and gives Washington 10 wins in its last 12 games, a stretch that started in Atlanta when the Nats rallied from an early 9-1 deficit to win 13-12 on April 28.
