WASHINGTON — The Atlanta Braves aren't getting much relief from their bullpen these days. Wilson Ramos hit a tiebreaking double that capped a two-run rally in the eighth inning and the Washington Nationals completed a three-game sweep by beating the Braves 5-4 Sunday. "You've got to get 27 outs and we only got 24 of them," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
