Washington Nationals

Pitching Duel In Atlanta

From Elias: Ian Desmond's two-run homer accounted for all the scoring in the Nationals' 2-0 win over the Braves in Atlanta. It was the first nine-inning game in nearly 16 years in which neither team had a batter reach base -- by hit, walk, HBP or error -- from the fifth inning to the end of the game. That had last happened on July 28, 1997 in a matchup between the Blue Jays and Brewers.
