The Washington Nationals’ bullpen faltered again yesterday in a 4-3 10-inning loss to Atlanta. Down 2-0, the Nats rallied to tie the game in the 7th on 5 consecutive 2-out hits, only to see reliever Tanner Rainey give up a 2-run homer in the 10th. The loss comes on the heels of a Saturday loss that saw the Nationals pen give up 9 runs in the latter innings. The Nationals, now 8 1/2 games behind the Braves in the NL East, are off today before heading to Miami on Tuesday.
