PHILADELPHIA -- Still clinging to post-season hopes, the Washington Nationals will take every win they can get. Wilson Ramos hit a three-run homer and Corey Brown also went deep to back Gio Gonzalez, helping the Nationals beat the Philadelphia Phillies 9-6 Tuesday night. The Nationals remained 7 1/2 games behind Cincinnati for the second wild-card spot after overcoming a sloppy all-around effort that included three errors, four unearned runs and four wild pitches. "That was an ugly game, one of the ugliest Ive seen," manager Davey Johnson said. "Thats not the way to win a pennant, Ill tell you that." Gonzalez (9-6) gave up five runs -- one earned -- and five hits, striking out six in 5 2-3 innings. The lefty has two straight wins after going seven starts without one. Ramos connected in the second and the Nationals never trailed. Brown hit a solo shot into the second deck off Luis Garcia in his first big-league at-bat of the season in the seventh to extend the lead to 8-5. "The first time back there were a lot of emotions going on," Brown said. "I just tried to tell myself to get a good pitch to hit." Phillies rookie Ethan Martin (2-4) allowed five runs and four hits in 4 2-3 innings. The righty hasnt reached five innings in his last three starts. "Its frustrating," Martin said. "Im trying to go as deep as I can and when I cant do that, its frustrating." Cody Asche was 3 for 4 with a homer and three RBIs for Philadelphia. Rafael Soriano tossed a scoreless ninth for his 37th save in 43 chances. A crowd of 28,826 was the smallest at Citizens Bank Park since April 3, 2008, when 25,831 turned out for a game, also against the Nationals, according to STATS LLC. That was the last time the Phillies drew under 30,000. After leading the majors in attendance in 2011-12, the Phillies are fourth in the NL this season. But theyre averaging 6,000 fewer people than last year. Gonzalez faced a lineup missing Jimmy Rollins, Chase Utley and Domonic Brown. Rollins and Utley had the day off and Brown remains sidelined with soreness in his right Achilles. "I was a little uncomfortable the whole game," Gonzalez said. "They were being patient and I wasnt pounding the strike zone. A win doesnt have to be pretty, but just a win." Control issues cost Martin. He hit Jayson Werth on the left forearm with a 93 mph fastball leading off the second. After Adam LaRoches one-out walk, Ramos drove one out to right-centre for a 3-0 lead. Martin walked three in the fifth, including LaRoche with two outs and the bases loaded to force in a run. Justin De Fratus came in and walked Ramos to force in Washingtons fifth run. Werth and Ian Desmond had RBI singles in the sixth for the Nationals to make it 7-2. Asches two-run single in the fourth got the Phillies within one. Kevin Frandsen led off with a single and Carlos Ruiz reached on third baseman Ryan Zimmermans fielding error. They advanced on a wild pitch and scored on Asches hit up the middle. Shoddy defence hurt Gonzalez again in the sixth. With two outs, John Mayberry Jr. reached on shortstop Desmonds throwing error that scored Darin Ruf. Michael Martinez followed with an RBI single and went all the way to third on catcher Ramos fielding error. Gonzalez exited and pinch-hitter Utley greeted Ryan Mattheus with an RBI single that cut it to 7-5. "Theres a few cracks in the dam and Im trying to plug them, but Im running out of fingers," Johnson said.

A drama-filled late slate of matches also saw Real Sociedad edge out Valencia for fourth place and the last Champions League berth, while Mallorca, Deportivo La Coruna, and Real Zaragoza were all relegated. Barcelona stormed to an insurmountable lead at Camp Nou to match the century points milestone set by Madrid last season. "We are happy, we have had a very good season," said Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova. "The truth is that we were eliminated from the semifinals of the Champions League, but if we have to reach 100 points and score 115 goals to be happy, well then thats fine." David Villa, Cesc Fabregas, Martin Montoya and Andres Iniesta all scored for Barcelona before Pedro Morales pulled one back for Malaga. Earlier, Madrid beat Osasuna 4-2 in Mourinhos last game before his expected return to the English Premier League. Mourinho said goodbye to Madrids fans with a brief statement on the club website wishing them "much happiness" and "good health." Madrid, which never recovered from a poor start to the league campaign, finished the season in a distant second place 15 points behind Barcelona and without a major title after coming up short in the Champions League and Copa del Rey. It was also the last appearance for Barcelona defender Eric Abidal, Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain, and Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini among others, with all set to change clubs this summer. Sociedad manager Philippe Montanier ended his two years in San Sebastian by guiding his team into Europes top tier competition along with Barcelona, Madrid, and Atletico Madrid after the Basque club won 1-0 at Deportivo from Antoine Griezmanns 22nd-minute goal. Valencia needed a win at Sevilla to finish ahead of Sociedad, but it had to settle for fifth place and a Europa League spot afterr Alvaro Negredo scored four goals in a 4-3 win.dddddddddddd Coach Ernesto Valverde also announced that he would be leaving Valencia after taking the club over in December on a six-month contract. Malaga ended in sixth place, but is barred from the European competition for one season, meaning that Real Betis in seventh and Rayo Vallecano in eighth will play in the Europa League unless the ban is overturned. Celta Vigo escaped the drop zone with a 1-0 win over Espanyol from Natxo Insas goal. Celtas win made Mallorcas 4-2 victory over Valladolid moot, while Zaragoza was doomed after losing 3-1 to third-place Atletico. Also, Rayo drew 2-2 with Athletic Bilbao, Granada downed Getafe 2-0, and Levante drew 1-1 with Betis. Eric Abidal, who fought back from a liver transplant to rejoin Barcelona this season, went on at Camp Nou to a standing ovation to play his final 14 minutes for the club after it didnt offer to prolong his six-year stint. Barcelona honoured Abidal after the match along with his wife, daughters, and cousin Gerard who donated a part of his liver for his transplant last year. "My family and I want to thank you for all the support you have shown me during these years," Abidal told the Camp Nou crowd. "I will always have you in my heart. Long live Barca! And long live Catalonia!" The Santiago Bernabeu fans greeted Mourinho with a mix of applause and jeers, but even with Cristiano Ronaldo out with a back problem, his players made sure the Portuguese manager went out on a win. Rumoured to be heading to Juventus, Higuain scored what he later said was his 121st and last goal for Madrid in the 35th. After the match Higuain said he was leaving Madrid after seven seasons, without specifying his destination. Goalkeeper Ricardo Lopez went on for Osasuna late to play his final 15 minutes before retiring after 16 seasons. He conceded his final goal when Jose Callejon finished off a counterattack in the 87th. Osasuna ensured its place in the top flight next season with a win in the previous round. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
