Braves 6, Nationals 4: At Washington, John Smoltz didn’t allow an earned run until the seventh inning, Chipper Jones homered and Kelly Johnson had a career-high four hits as Atlanta topped the Nationals, who wore Virginia Tech baseball caps as a tribute to the victims of Monday’s shooting rampage at the school.
