Nationals Trip Braves, 7-6, in Extra Innings
The Washington Nationals defeated the Atlanta Braves, 7-6, at Turner Field today. Leading the charge for Washington was third baseman Jorge Acosta. He was 2-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Washington reliever Tuu-ko-ihu Kaleo picked up the win, upping his record to 5-8. Jesús López took the loss. Their 73-59 record puts the Nationals first in the National League Eastern Division.

Washington used the timely hitting of Juan Palácios to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Nationals on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Big win," said Palácios.
