Dunn Does In Braves

WASHINGTON (AP) _ Scott Olsen returned from the disabled list to

win his first appearance in more than two months, Adam Dunn and Ian

Desmond each homered and doubled, and the last-place Washington

Nationals beat the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves 5-3 Thursday in a

game interrupted 1{ hours by rain.

Olsen (3-2) gave up three runs _ two earned _ and five hits in

six innings before a thunderstorm caused the delay. The Nationals

made room on the roster for the left-hander by putting rookie

sensation Stephen Strasburg on the DL for the first time.

Backup catcher Wil Nieves sent a bouncer up the middle off Derek

Lowe (10-9) in the fourth inning, breaking a 2-all tie.
