Last summer, the Washington Nationals were a lowly club that gave the Braves fits. But, this is a new season. If Atlanta is going to re-emerge as a contender in the NL East, Washington is a team the Braves must handle.
Well, Atlanta is in DC tonight and Livan Hernandez is on the mound for the Nats. April's Rookie of the Month, Jason Heyward tied the game at 2, with a solo HR in the top of the 4th.
Sammy Kawakami (0-4 with a 5.55 ERA) got the start for Atlanta.
Side note: After a miserable 9 game losing streak, the Braves swept Houston at Turner Field, and entered tonight's contest just 3 games back of first place Philadelphia.
Update: The Magic lead Atlanta 33-27 in Orlando. Dwight Howard is causing problems for the Hawks. Meanwhile, the Braves are still tied at 2 with the Nats in DC. There are 2 outs with Jason Heyward (Intentional Walk) on 1st and catcher Brian McCann on 2nd, as Melky Cabrera bats in the 5th.

Good Lord. Just turned the TV back to the Hawks game. Orlando now leads 42-27 after a 15-0 run. That sucks.
In DC, Cabrera flied out to end the inning and strand McCann on 2B on Heyward on 1st. The former yankee failed to deliver... once again. So far, I'm not enjoying his Braves debut.
The crowd in Orlando chants, "MVP" as a cheap azz foul is called on Josh Smith. Howard dunked on him and Josh appeard to have breathed in #12's direction. Hawks appear lifeless, trailing 49-33 with 3:01 left in 2nd quarter.
This one could be over already.
Back to the Braves... Atlanta has left 8 men on base (5 in scoring position) and trails 3-2 in the top of the 6th. Omar Infante leads off the inning for Atlanta, by grounding out.
4-2 Nats after an Adam Dunn HR in the bottom of the 6th. Ain't nothing going right for Atlanta tonight.
I'm gonna call it a day. See ya'll later.
