Clinging to a 2-1 lead, Atlanta broke it open with three runs in the seventh, capped by Dan Uggla\'s two-run single. Justin Heyward, Chipper Jones and Freddie Freeman also drove in runs as the National League wild card-leading Braves cut first-place Washington\'s lead over them in the NL East to 5 1/2 games.

Ian Desmond went 2-for-4 with an RBI for the Nationals.
