How the game was won: Nationals pitcher Jordan Zimmermann had a three-run single in a four-run fourth inning against Alex Wood that gave Washington a lead it wouldn't relinquish in a 13-4 win against the Braves. The Braves, who've lost 11 of 16 games since a 5-0 start, blew early leads in losing each of the last two games in the three-game series.
Number: 3 and 8. Extra-base hits and RBIs for Nationals second baseman Dan Uggla in the three-game series. The former Brave, who had two triples and a three-run homer in the series, has two extra-base hits and one RBI in 12 games against everyone else this season.
What's next: The Braves continue their 10-game homestand with a four-game series against the Reds. Shelby Miller (3-0, 2.05 ERA) faces Reds right-hander Mike Leake (0-1, 3.90) in the series opener Thursday at 7:10 p.m.
