"Your main focus is the guy in front of you when you're running the bases, and we weren't real aware in some situations today."

    Joey Meneses hit a go-ahead, two-run homer off Jesse Chavez in the seventh inning, and the Washington Nationals stopped the Braves' five-game winning streak with a 3-2 victory on Wednesday as Atlanta cost itself with poor baserunning.
