GAME ID: 9777 - TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20TH , 2005 - GAME LOG
  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Atlanta Braves (76-75) 1 0 0 1 0 1 2 0 0 5 8 2
Washington Nationals (60-91) 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 6 1
Nationals Lose at Home, 5-1
Atlanta pitcher John Smoltz did his part in helping his team beat the Washington Nationals, 5-1. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. Smoltz got the win, improving to 11-13. He gave up 5 hits and walked 2 over 7 innings. He allowed 1 run. Brian Carter got the save, his 30th in 36 chances.

It could have been a different outcome for Atlanta, had it not been for Shawn Green, the 1994 Rookie of the Year Award winner . Green contributed a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put Atlanta up, 3-1.

"We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Green.

The Atlanta winning streak has reached 3 games.
