Milwaukee’s potent offense came through again with an 8-2 victory over the Washington Nationals.
The Brewers were quick to establish an early lead, scoring in each of the first three innings, en route to a 15-hit game. Five different batters tallied multiple hits, including Brice Turang and Christian Yelich with three a piece.
Facing off against Nationals starter Jake Irvin, the Brewers punished seemingly every mistake. In the first inning, Sal Frelick led off with a single with William Contreras working a full-count walk. It was that type of patient, pesky approach that forced Irvin into difficult situations throughout his entire start.
