The weekend started off well for the Braves as recent call-up James Parr delivered six shut out innings in the Braves 2-0 blanking of the Nats. They added another win on Friday before dropping Saturday’s game, 8-5 thanks to the heorics of former Brave Ryan Langerhans. Then came Sunday. The Braves jumped out to an early 3-1 lead after Chipper Jones’ ball was lost in the sun allowing Gregor Blanco and Jo-Jo Reyes to score. The Braves added a run in the sixth inning making the score, 4-1. Then things fell a part. Alberto Gonzalez hit a homerun off of Braves reliever Julian Tavarez in the seventh and tied the game in the eighth with a double. Elijah Dukes doubled in Willie Harris, Gonzalez and Lastings Milledge in the fourteenth inning to win the game for the Nats. It was the Braves seventh loss in the last 10 games and put them in danger of falling to the bottom of the NL East barrel. (The hold a six game lead over Washington)
