The Atlanta Braves opened their season on the road last night in Washington D.C. with a loss to the Nationals 3-2. The Braves tied the game at 2 in the 9th, scoring on a passed ball. But in the Nationals' home-half of the 9th inning, Ryan Zimmerman wiht 2 outs launched a solo home run off reliever Peter Moylan for the winning difference. Earlier in the game, Chipper Jones drilled a solo home run, which represented the first HR to be hit in the Nationals' new stadium, getting its debut last night. For Braves' starting pitcher Tim Hudson, after a bumpy 1st inning allowing 2 runs, he settled down to retire the next 19 batters he faced. The Braves are back in Atlanta to open a 6-game homestand--home opener tonight against the Pirates. Tom Glavine gets the pitching call in his first game back in a Braves uniform.
