    The Nationals are showing some resiliency at the end of a road trip.

    Ian Desmond hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in the 11th inning, Jayson Werth followed with a two-run homer and Washington beat Atlanta 7-3 on Wednesday night.

    After losing three straight at Philadelphia to open a nine-game road trip, the Nationals (18-18) have climbed back to .500 overall by winning four of five, including the first two games of the three-game series with the Braves.

    The win in the 11th was set up by a two-run rally after the Braves led 3-1 in the ninth.

    "From where we started the road trip to now, with a chance to sweep these guys, is big for this team," said Alex Cora.
