In a thrilling game on Sunday, the Washington Nationals defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 8-6, marking their first series sweep against the Brewers since April 2011. The Nationals took the lead in the eighth inning when Keibert Ruiz singled to bring home two runs, breaking a tie after Gary Sánchez had tied the game with a three-run homer in the seventh. The Brewers, who have now lost five consecutive games, saw Brice Turang contribute two solo home runs. The Nationals had previously scored four runs in the seventh inning, but the Brewers quickly responded with Sánchez's homer. PJ Poulin earned the win after pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings, while Gus Varland secured his first career save by retiring the side in the ninth. The Nationals will next face the Pittsburgh Pirates in a four-game series, while the Brewers will host the Toronto Blue Jays.
