The Braves snapped their 5-game losing streak last night, scoring the 4-1 win over the Washington Nationals at Turner Field. Brian McCann had the big blow, a 3-run homer in the 6th inning. Along with his run-scoring single in the 4th inning, McCann accounted for all 4 RBI's for Atlanta.
The 4 runs represented an outburst for the Braves, who had been shut-out in 4 of their previous 5 games, with only a run scored. Tim Hudson earned his 7th pitching win of the season, with Bob Wickman recording his 13th save.
