Dan Uggla knows his last two seasons with the Atlanta Braves were a long nightmare. ''I had a lot of great memories here,'' Uggla said. ''Whatever the case is - everybody knows the story of how it's gone the last couple of years - but that doesn't take away from any of my good memories here.'' Uggla drove in five runs, three on a homer in the ninth inning, to help Washington rally from the franchise's biggest deficit to beat the Atlanta Braves 13-12 on Tuesday night and snap a six-game losing streak. The Nationals twice trailed by eight runs but chipped away at the lead as Jose Lobaton hit a three-run homer in a four-run fifth, Denard Span hit a solo homer in the sixth and Uggla had a two-run triple and Reed Johnson a pinch-hit RBI single in the seventh.
