Thursday’s results

Nationals 2, Braves 0: At Atlanta, Ronnie Belliard hit a go-ahead single in the eighth inning off John Smoltz as Washington ended a six-game losing streak. Ryan Zimmerman also hit an RBI single for the Nationals (2-8), who had never led a game this year at the time a pitch was thrown. Their only previous win was April 4, when Dmitri Young hit a game-ending single that capped a three-run ninth inning in a win over Florida. Jason Bergmann, Jesus Colome (1-0), Jon Rauch and Chad Cordero – who struck out Scott Thorman with the bases loaded for the save – combined on a two-hitter.

Mets 5, Phillies 3: At New York, Tom Glavine (2-1) beat Jamie Moyer (1-1) in the oldest matchup of left-handed starters in major league history, getting his 292nd win. Glavine (2-1) allowed three runs and four hits – two of them Jimmy Rollins homers – in six innings. Jose Reyes hit a two-run, fourth-inning single that turned a 3-2 deficit into a 4-3 lead. Billy Wagner got three outs for his second save.
