Bats come back [Ben Goessling]


The Nationals just ended a scoreless streak of 14 innings -- stretching back to Ryan Zimmerman's eighth-inning homer on Monday -- by scoring two in the fifth inning of this one to tie the game. Cristian Guzman and Lastings Milledge ripped back-to-back doubles, but give some credit to Matt Chico, who dropped a perfect bunt down the third-base line to move Willie Harris over to second.


Chico has been solid on the mound, too. He gave up a two-run homer to Mark Teixeira, but the Braves have managed two other hits off of him. In his third start after switching to a high leg kick, his fastball is consistently around 88 mph, or about a 3-mph jump from where it was before.
