ATLANTA -- A long rain delay and extra innings tested the Washington Nationals mental and physical strength. Wholesale Air Max 270 . Matt Williams said he was impressed his NL East-leading team finally found a way to win. Wilson Ramos bases-loaded single sparked Washingtons three-run 11th inning, and the Nationals beat the Atlanta Braves 4-1 on Saturday night. The start of the game was delayed by 3 hours, 41 minutes, and the final out wasnt recorded until Sunday at 2:29 a.m. "Considering all that happened today and the way we had to fight through the last couple of days, it was pretty good for us," Williams said. "We fought all the way." It was the Braves ninth loss in 10 games. The Nationals increased their lead in the division over Atlanta to 4 1/2 games. Anthony Rendon and Adam LaRoche led off the 11th with singles against David Carpenter (4-2). After left fielder Justin Upton made a leaping catch of Ian Desmonds liner, James Russell walked Bryce Harper to load the bases. Ramos then drove in Rendon with a single up the middle off Anthony Vavaro, Atlantas third pitcher of the inning. Devin Frandsens double to right field drove in two runs to make it 4-1. Ramos was initially ruled safe at home on the play, but the call was overturned following a replay challenge by Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez. Tyler Clippard (7-2) pitched a scoreless 10th inning, and Rafael Soriano got three outs for his 26th save in 30 chances. The Braves, who snapped an eight-game losing streak Friday night with a 7-6 win over the Nationals, were frustrated by leaving 11 runners on base. More offensive struggles wasted a strong start by Aaron Harang, who allowed one run in seven innings. "Its tough, especially against a team that we know were trying to make up ground on," Harang said. LaRoches homer in the sixth gave Washington a 1-0 lead, but the Braves tied it in the bottom half. Washingtons Tanner Roark and Harang opened with five scoreless innings before LaRoche led off the sixth with his 16th homer. The Braves settled for one run after loading the bases with no outs in the sixth. Tommy La Stella scored on Jason Heywards broken-bat fly ball to shallow centre field. Roark also lasted seven innings, allowing one run, six hits and three walks. BOOS FOR BRYCE Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper, booed consistently by Braves fans, might have tried to send a message back to the fans by scraping his cleat over the Atlanta "A" carved into the dirt behind the batters box, as if trying to scuff it. Fans responded with more boos. SPAN THE MAN Denard Spans fifth-inning triple gave him a 13-game hitting streak. He has reached base in 35 consecutive games, a streak that began on June 28. ALUMNI SOFTBALL Newly inducted Hall of Famer Greg Maddux, and Chipper Jones were among the former Braves players who played in a legends softball game. Jones, wearing shorts and striped socks, homered in his first at-bat. Maddux settled for a double. John Rocker and Ryan Klesko were among other players to easily clear the short fence for homers. TRAINERS ROOM Nationals: Right fielder Jayson Werth was scratched from the lineup as he continues to be slowed by a sore right ankle and right shoulder. He walked as a pinch-hitter in the 11th and should start on Sunday night, according to Williams. ... Outfielder Steven Souza, who hurt his shoulder in a collision with the right-field wall and left Fridays game, entered as a pinch-runner for Werth. Braves: Shortstop Andrelton Simmons sprained left ankle is improving. Gonzalez said Simmons might play by Tuesday. Simmons was no longer wearing a soft cast, but had the ankle wrapped. ... Right-hander Shae Simmons, on the disabled list with a right shoulder strain since July 27, said he "felt really good today" throwing in the outfield. He still hasnt thrown off a mound. UP NEXT Nationals: Left-hander Gio Gonzalez will try to end a streak of four straight losses in his last five starts at Turner Field on Sunday night. He won his first two career starts in Atlanta before a long string of bad luck. Gonzalez has received one run of support in each of his last five starts in Atlanta. Braves: Left-hander Alex Wood will look for his first win since July 20. Wood is 0-2 in his last three starts, dropping him to 7-9 with a 3.20 ERA for the season. Wood is 1-1 with a 2.25 ERA in two starts against Washington this season. Cheap Air Max 270 . The Nuggets leading scorer, Lawson is characterized as day to day by the team. Hes averaging 17.9 points and 8.9 assists. Lawson suffered the injury late in Denvers win Sunday at Sacramento. Cheap Air Max 270 China . Casey Janssen was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday due to a strain in his left abdominal area and lower back. http://www.cheapairmax270.net/ . Not because it was right, but because referees werent allowed to determine it was wrong.Ireland waited 111 years for a victory against New Zealand and now have the chance to grab a second in 15 days when they meet in Dublin on Saturday, live on Sky Sports 2 HD from 4.45pm. Irelands 40-29 victory in Chicago ended the All Blacks 18-game winning streak and are now primed for a furious backlash at the Aviva Stadium.As Steve Hansen and Joe Schmidt argue over who is favourites for Saturdays rematch, Ireland skipper Rory Best has challenged his side to scale new heights in performance to pull off another victory. Can Ireland make further history and beat the back-to-back world champions for a second time? We examine five key talking points:Ireland refuse to fall for Hansen mind games Joe Schmidt rejected Steve Hansens suggestion that the Ireland are favourites New Zealand boss Steve Hansen has branded his back-to-back world champions underdogs for the Dublin clash.Hansens claim has been met with near incredulity in all corners, especially as the All Blacks boast a 92 per cent win rate during his tenure. They have lost just four in 66 during Hansens reign, and those statistics belie his claim that Ireland enter Saturdays clash as favourites. QUIZ: Irelands win over NZ Ireland famously beat the All Blacks in Chicago, but do you remember how they did it? Just because Ireland claimed their first-ever win over New Zealand on November 5, the hosts have insisted that does not change the complexion of facing the worlds best team one iota.Ireland have rejected any suggestion of mind games from New Zealand and Hansen but he has no doubt issued that tag in order to challenge his side to hit back to expected form.New Zealands all-new second row Brodie Retallick (left) and Sam Whitelock resume their second row partnership The return of fit-again duo Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock is expected to transform New Zealands approach.Firstly the potent locks will boost the All Blacks scrum and lineout no end. But more than that, Retallick especially should revamp New Zealands approach with ball in hand. Ireland vs New Zealand November 19, 2016, 4:45pm Live on Get Sky Sports Get a Sky Sports pass The peerless Retallick acts as a hugely-dangerous auxiliary midfield playmaker in New Zealands unique attacking system. Few teams have managed to shut down the wily operator, so Ireland have to do just that in order to produce another victory.Dagg ushered in to counter Irelands aerial game Israel Dagg scored New Zealands fourth try in their win over Italy last Saturday Battering ram wing Waisake Naholo has been relegated to New Zealands bench for failing to cope with Irelands tactical kicking strategy in Chicago. Air Max 270 Cheap Authentic. .Naholo floundered as Irelands aerial bombardment paid huge dividend at Soldier Field. Picked to power through the middle of the field with ball in hand, instead Naholo wound up too often clutching at straws as Ireland gained front-foot ball through Johnny Sexton and Conor Murrays inch-perfect kicking game. Did you know? Half-backs Conor Murray and Johnny Sexton account for 54 of the last 91 points Ireland have scored against New Zealand. Hansen has picked Israel Dagg on the wing in the hope New Zealand can this time shut down one of Irelands primary sources of attacking platforms.OBrien can terrorise NZ again New Zealand were surprised Sean OBrien was not selected for the Chicago Test When Ireland ran New Zealand all the way in their 24-22 defeat in Dublin 2013, for the first hour back-rower Sean OBrien struck fear into the stunned All Blacks.New Zealands overtime converted try to steal the game has since been well documented, with the All Blacks exploiting that last-gasp victory in order to boost their unbeatable aura.Irelands win in Chicago has dented that invincibility of course though, and fit-again flanker OBrien can once again ruin New Zealands claim to immortality.The Leinster star is just about approaching full tilt and can easily repeat his barnstorming 2013 showing.Spare a thought for OMahony Peter OMahony has missed out on selection, with Sean OBrien named in the back row and Josh van der Flier on the bench Munster flanker Peter OMahony has proved one of Irelands most potent and dependable performers over the last five years.So it must have been with a heavy heart that Ireland boss Joe Schmidt once again omitted the bullish back-rower from his line-up to face New Zealand.OMahony would have been frustrated but accepting of missing the Chicago match, still fighting back to full fitness as he was after his long-term battles with knee trouble.But this week he has been in full flight, so to miss a second match against the worlds best side in as many weeks must cut deep.
