Nats take Braves series with two consecutive wins

Olsen Pitches Nationals to Victory Over BravesThe Post
Olsen stays the BravesThe Wash. Times
The Nats got a series victory for the first time in a while by winning on Saturday and Sunday. Improved starting pitching was a big factor as American hero John Lannan went eight innings on Independence Day and Scott Olsen went 8 2/3’s yesterday. Scoring five runs doesn’t hurt either.

It must have been Manny Acta’s pep talk (The Wash. Times).

Mike McDougal is solidifying his position as a Chad Cordero closer — every save is an adventure. Of course, that is an improvement over Joel Hanrahan who had the adventures without the saves.
