Milwaukee’s Offense Keeps Rolling
The Brewers torched Washington pitching for 16 runs on Friday and followed it up with an 8-2 win Saturday, powered by Christian Yelich, who went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBIs, and three runs scored.
Yelich is 5-for-10 in the series and now owns five games this year with three or more hits. Brice Turang added two doubles and a single, while Milwaukee’s leadoff hitter reached base in seven of nine innings Saturday.

Pitching Matchup: Misiorowski vs. Lord
Sunday’s finale will feature a battle between two rookies:
- Jacob Misiorowski (MIL): 4-1, 2.70 ERA
Misiorowski has dazzled in his first seven starts but showed resilience last time out. After allowing three runs in the first, he retired the next 10 batters and helped Milwaukee rally for a win.
“Just trust that the team’s going to help me out — and they did,” Misiorowski said.
- Brad Lord (WSH): 2-5, 3.27 ERA
Lord gave up just one run in 5 1/3 innings in his last start vs. Houston. He has also thrown 3 1/3 scoreless relief innings vs. Milwaukee this season. Despite a solid ERA, Washington is winless in his five losses.

Nationals Look for a Spark
The Nationals have dropped five straight to the Brewers this season and were held to just two hits on Saturday. The lone offensive highlight came from Robert Hassell III, who homered in his return from Triple-A.
“Hopefully it happens more,” Hassell said. “In the first start back, it’s nice.”
Interim manager Miguel Cairo emphasized work ethic over results.
“You’ve got to make sure you do things the right way,” Cairo said. “That’s the culture I’m gonna make.”
Washington now sits 22 games under .500 and is struggling to find consistency as it reshapes its lineup post-deadline.
