Nationals Stay Hot With 5-1 Win
The umbrellas came out during the Washington-Atlanta contest at Nationals Park.

Nick Castellanos made an impact in the 5-1 Washington win over Atlanta. Castellanos, who is tied for 6th in the NL with a .526 slugging percentage, was 2 for 3 with 2 doubles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The save went to Dominic Bingham, his 8th this season.

Washington grabbed the momentum in the bottom of the fifth, when Castellanos hit a 2-run double off Rudy Thomas. His 12th double of the season put the Nationals out in front, 2-0.

"It all comes down to execution," said Washington manager Mark Grudzielanek. "Baseball 101."

With their winning streak at 7, the Nationals have raced to a strong start this season.
