ATLANTA \u2014 Foster Griffin allowed only three hits in six scoreless innings, Nasim Nu\u00f1ez singled in a run in the fifth and the Washington Nationals survived Atlanta\u2019s ninth-inning comeback attempt for a 2-1 win Sunday to give the Braves their first home series loss of the season.<\/p>\n

The Braves had won eight straight home series to open the season before losing two of three to Washington. First-place Atlanta fell to 14-2-1 overall in the series this season.<\/p>\n

Griffin (6-2) struck out six and walked one.<\/p>\n

Gus Varland allowed singles to Ozzie Albies and Austin Riley to open the ninth. Richard Lovelady gave up Eli White\u2019s grounder that Nu\u00f1ez mishandled at second base for an error, allowing Albies to score from third base.<\/p>\n

Lovelady walked Ha-Seong Kim to load the bases. Orlando Ribalta came in and struck out Chadwick Tromp and got Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. on a weak grounder for his second save.<\/p>\n

There was a 22-minute weather delay before the game, and steady rain throughout the sixth inning led to another delay of 1:28 in the top of the seventh.<\/p>\n

Atlanta left-hander Mart\u00edn P\u00e9rez (2-3) allowed one run in 5 2\/3 innings. Right-hander Reynaldo L\u00f3pez gave up a run-scoring single to pinch-hitter Luis Garc\u00eda Jr. in the eighth.<\/p>\n

Before the game, Washington placed right-hander Jake Irvin on the 15-day injured list with a right shoulder strain. Left-hander PJ Poulin was recalled from Triple-A Rochester. Irvin threw five hitless innings and combined with two relievers on a one-hitter in the Nationals\u2019 2-0 win on Saturday.<\/p>\n
