Atlanta got off to another shaky start offensively and defensively but settled down after the 1st inning and did not allow any more runs. Tommy Hanson struggled in the 1st, giving up 4 hits and 3 runs, but after that, he was solid. Jordan Zimmermann of the Nationals was giving up a lot of hits, but was able to get out of jams until the 8th inning when he gave up 2 runs to tie the game. Doug Slaten came into the game at that point and got out of the 8th without anymore damage. In the 9th, the Braves strung together a few hits and were able to take a 5-3. Craig Kimbrel came into the game to close it out, and did just that. He records his first save of the season.
