WASHINGTON — The Atlanta Braves started their weekend series in Washington by continuing their winning ways against the Nationals. By Sunday afternoon, that success meant little to the Braves. Tanner Roark won his fourth straight start, Denard Span had an RBI double and the Nationals beat Atlanta 4-1 Sunday for a split of the four-game series between NL East rivals.
