Nationals Sweep Braves

Atlanta Finishes On A Down Note

      Alberto Gonzalez drove in the winning run with a two-out single in the 15th inning and the Washington Nationals
closed the season with a seven-game winning streak, beating the Atlanta Braves 2-1 on Sunday.
      Playing the longest game since the franchise moved to Washington from Montreal before the 2005 season, the Nationals became the first team in baseball history to close the season with seven straight wins after losing the first seven. Still, they finished 59-103 - the worst record in baseball.
      Atlanta, which got within two games of the wild-card lead with six remaining, finished with a season-high six-game losing streak.
      Logan Kensing (1-2) earned the win with two scoreless innings.
