ATLANTA — Rookie Matt Wisler wasn’t too worried about walking so many hitters in his third major league start. With his slider and power sinker working, the walks were almost the only way Washington batters could reach base. Wisler allowed one hit in 5 1-3 scoreless innings and the Atlanta Braves beat the Nationals 4-1 on Wednesday night to end a streak of nine straight losses in the season series.
