Washington Nationals took on the Milwaukee Brewers in an exciting match on Sunday, with Luis García Jr. hitting a home run for the second consecutive day. The Nationals emerged victorious with a score of 4-3, thanks to a bases-loaded triple by rookie James Wood. Mitchell Parker pitched six shutout innings for Washington, claiming his first victory in over a month. Gary Sánchez homered for the Brewers, but it wasn’t enough to secure a win.
Despite some struggles, the Nationals managed to secure back-to-back wins after a five-game losing streak. The Brewers, on the other hand, dropped the final two games of the series and have lost four of their last five matches. Washington’s strong performance against Milwaukee this season has been notable, marking the first time the Brewers lost a season series to the Nationals since 2015.
García’s impressive hitting streak continued, with his seventh multi-hit game in the last ten outings. Wood’s crucial triple in the sixth inning sealed the victory for Washington, extending his impressive batting average over the last nine games. In the end, Kyle Finnegan secured the win for the Nationals with his second save in as many days.
Looking ahead, the Brewers have a day off before Colin Rea takes the mound against the Braves, while the Nationals will face the San Francisco Giants as their homestand continues. The game showcased promising performances from rising stars like García and Wood, setting the stage for an exciting rest of the season for the Nationals.
