"I'm one guy who basically lives for this," said Washington manager Manny Acta, whose team has a chance to sweep the Braves in a series for the first time since the Nationals moved from Montreal in 2005. "And I don't know if I would have made it to the ballpark today as a fan. I was surprised at the amount of people who showed up. The plan was, hey, we've got to be out there, so we might as well give it all and win the ballgame."
