The Washington Nationals halted a five-game losing streak by defeating the Milwaukee Brewers 6-4, with Luis García Jr. nearly hitting for the cycle and Kyle Finnegan securing a four-out save. Travis Blankenhorn's two-run double and Keibert Ruiz's go-ahead single contributed to an early 4-0 lead. DJ Herz earned his second career win, while Aaron Civale struggled, allowing five runs over four innings. In contrast, the previous night saw the Brewers win 8-3 against the Nationals, powered by William Contreras' 439-foot homer and a decisive two-run single by Blake Perkins. Frankie Montas, making his Brewers debut, pitched five innings for the win. The Nationals have now lost eight of their last ten games.
