Overview
- Milwaukee erupted for six runs in the third inning on six consecutive hits off Nationals starter Mitchell Parker.
- Christian Yelich belted a two-run homer for his team-leading 19th of the season and Andrew Vaughn added a solo shot as he became the first Brewer to record an RBI in each of his first four games.
- Opener DL Hall delivered three scoreless innings and Quinn Priester earned the win by allowing two runs over six frames.
- The five-game surge has seen the Brewers outscore opponents 26–8 and include a sweep of the National League–leading Dodgers earlier this week.
- Washington has lost six of its last seven games and three of four under interim manager Miguel Cairo after dismissing Dave Martinez and GM Mike Rizzo.
