VIERA, Fla. — Ryan Zimmerman hit a two-run homer and Brett Carroll hit a bases-loaded triple and scored on a throwing error as a Washington Nationals split squad defeated the Atlanta Braves 6-3 Thursday. Mike Minor started for the Braves and gave up two hits through five innings before running into trouble in the sixth, when Washington scored six runs. Washington starter Edwin Jackson pitched five innings of two-hit ball after giving up 13 earned runs in his past three spring starts.
