Bryce Harper hit his first grand slam to reach 100 career home runs and the Washington Nationals beat Atlanta 6-2 Thursday, dropping the Braves to 0-9. The Braves and Minnesota, which fell to 0-9 hours earlier, are the first major league teams to lose nine in a row to start a season since Detroit in 2003, STATS said. Atlanta moved closer to the team-worst 0-10 beginning in 1988.
