Davey Martinez’s club dropped both ends of the doubleheader with the Milwaukee Brewers on a rainy Saturday in Washington, D.C.
The Nationals jumped out to 1-0 and 2-1 leads early in the nightcap in Nationals Park, but then gave runs right back each time, and the Brew Crew battled for a 6-2 win which gave them the series with one more to play tomorrow afternoon.
Lester vs the Nationals: Winless in his first five starts with the Nationals, with a 5.33 ERA and a .295/.358/.495 line against in 25 1⁄3 IP so far this season, Jon Lester’s 2021 season hasn’t gotten off to the best start, especially considering he had surgery this spring and ended up on the COVID-IL before Opening Day.
