Nationals Need Extras to Top Braves
The Washington Nationals beat the Atlanta Braves, 5-4, at Nationals Park. The win was largely due to the efforts of left fielder Andrew Benintendi, who captured player of the game honors. He was 3 for 6 with 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Washington goes to 69-46. The win puts them 3½ games up in their division.

Benintendi had a game-changing single in the bottom of the tenth. On a 2-2 cutter from Michael Lorenzen, he banged a run-scoring single to left, giving the Nationals a 5-4 lead. It was the 143rd hit of the year for Benintendi.

"I still think this team has room for improvement," Benintendi told the Washington Observer.
