Braves 3, Nationals 6

Recap: On Sunday, it was Mets slugger Carlos Delgado who was breaking out from a slump but on Tuesday night Nats third baseman Ryan Zimmerman decided it was as good as night as any to silence his critics getting three hits including a homerun in the Nats 6-3 win. The night marked Tom Glavine's return from his first ever stint on the DL, but it was once again the bullpen that played patsy for the Braves giving up four earned runs in three innings.
