September 19, 2006: Braves 6 Nationals 3
Monday, October 22, 2007
| One streak ended and two continued with this 6-3 loss to the Braves. First, the streak that ended: the Nats/Expos 5 year history of making the playoffs. With this loss, the Nats scant playoff 2006 playoff hopes evaporated. Now, the streaks that continued - Austin Kearns and Ryan Zimmerman's hitting streaks. The Nats were no-hit into the 6th inning in this one, but finally in the 9th both Kearns and Zimmerman were able to extend their streaks to 20 and 16 games, respectively. In other NL playoff news, the Mets and Padres have each clinched at least a tie for a playoff spot, as they both lead the Rockies by 11 in the win column and the Rockies have 11 to play. The Phillies are just 1.5 back of the Mets and 10 ahead of the Rockies for the wild card, so everyone should clinch in pretty short order. |

Chuck James carried a no-hitter into the 6th inning and Chipper Jones had 2
base hits and 2 RBI as the Atlanta Braves beat the Washington Nationals by a
score of 6 to 3.
James(7-10) gave a fine effort for Atlanta. He went 5 and 1/3 innings
surrendering 1 hit and 4 walks. The left-handed James lost his chance for a
no-hitter when Alfonso Soriano singled with nobody out in the 6th inning.
Washington made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push the
needed runs across.
Bob Wickman earned his 32nd save. Beltran Perez(0-1) took the loss. He was
hit hard and gave up 8 hits and 2 walks in 5 innings.
'We just made a lot of mistakes, mostly mental,' Frank Robinson said. 'It's
bad enough when the other team beats you, but when you start beating
yourselves, that's really bad.'
