Nationals 6

Braves 4

ATLANTA - Bryce Harper and Anthony Rendon hit two-run homers off Sean Newcomb (12-9) and 19-year-old rookie Juan Soto added an RBI single as the Washington Nationals beat the Atlanta Braves 6-4 on Sunday.

Atlanta maintained a 6 -game lead in the National League East over second-place Philadelphia. The Braves' magic number for clinching their first division title in five years was eight heading into Monday's home contest against St. Louis.

Tanner Roark (9-15) allowed two runs and five hits in 5 innings, and Sean Doolittle pitched a perfect ninth for his 24th save.

Stanford LPGA winner

EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France - Angela Stanford ended her long wait for a first major title when her 3-under 68 was enough to win the Evian Championship by one shot Sunday after long-time leader Amy Olson made double bogey on the 18th.

At age 40, and 15 years after she was runner-up at the U.S. Women's Open, Stanford's wild final few holes gave her a 12-under total of 272.

Olson missed a six-foot putt for bogey on the 18th to force a playoff, while Stanford waited near the green signing autographs for dozens of young spectators.

Stanford, who got the last of her five LPGA Tour titles in 2012, put her hands to her mouth on hearing she had won, and was in tears during television interviews.

Broadhurst wins Ally Challenge

GRAND BLANC, Mich. - Paul Broadhurst won The Ally Challenge on Sunday for his PGA Tour Champions-leading third victory of the season, closing with a birdie to beat Brandt Jobe by two strokes in tour golf's return to Warwick Hills.

Broadhurst rebounded from a bogey on the par-3 11th with birdies on the par-4 12th and par-5 13th and made a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th. The 53-year-old Englishman finished at 15-under 201 on the tree-lined layout that was the longtime home of the PGA Tour's Buick Open.
