Dunn rips two shots to rout slumping Braves WASHINGTON -- A day after missing a game because of an elbow injury, first baseman Adam Dunn put on a hitting display and helped the Nationals to an 8-3 victory over the Braves at Nationals Park on Friday night.

Dunn hit two home runs, drove in five runs and had fans chanting, "Sign Adam Dunn." The left-handed-hitting slugger is a free agent after the season.

With the game scoreless, Braves right-hander Tim Hudson was on the mound in the second inning when Dunn hit a 1-0 pitch for a solo homer over the center-field fence.
