    Washington Nationals manager Matt Williams had one question for Doug Fister in the seventh inning with Andrelton Simmons due up and two men on base.

    "I asked him if he wanted this man, and he said, 'Yes,' so I turned around and went back to the dugout," Williams said.

    Fister got the out, completing seven shutout innings and leading the Nationals to a 2-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves in the opener of a three-game series between the top teams in the NL East.
