Zach Davies (2-2, 5.60 ERA) took the mound against Patrick Corbin (2-3, 6.19 ERA) in game two of the series looking to build on his solid outing against Cleveland on May 12. Davies pitched 5.1 innings and surrendered only one run, making it the first time all season he’d recorded an out in the 6th in two straight games.
The Cubs were held scoreless until the 3rd when Willson Contreras plated two runs with a base knock through the right side of the infield. The Nationals broke through against Davies in the 5th, tying the game on RBI singles by Trae Turner and Ryan Zimmerman.
