HR: Howie Kendrick (5), Adam Eaton (3)
Follow the sweep against the Mets, the Nationals were in town with two top sellers lined up to start. The Brewers got through the first of them tonight with some help from the Nationals.
It didn’t look good to start. In the top of the first, Adam Eaton led off the game with a single off of Jhoulys Chacin, and Victor Robles bunted Eaton over to second. Howie Kendrick followed and hit a two-run home run to left field, giving the Nationals an early 2-0 lead.
