Fredi Gonzalez doesn't want to discuss the NL East standings. In fact, one mention of the Braves' big lead in the division made Atlanta's manager groan and complain, "I don't even want to talk about that. It's June 2." Ramiro Pena and B.J. Upton hit home runs, Paul Maholm won his third straight decision and Atlanta beat the Washington Nationals 6-3 on Sunday to stretch their lead in the NL East.
