Ramirez homers, but Dodgers lose
Nationals 5, Braves 3
WASHINGTON - A mammoth milestone home run by Adam Dunn was upstaged by his simple single that helped Washington rally to beat Atlanta.
Atlanta's Tommy Hanson extended his scoreless innings streak to 26 before Dunn's 300th career homer and the Nationals rallied for four eighth-inning runs.
"That 300th home run would have been hard to talk about. It would have been a useless home run if we hadn't won the game," said Dunn.
