Michael Taylor's home run all Nationals need in 6-1 win over Brewers

Michael Taylor hit his third home run in the last three games to get the Washington Nationals out to a 2-0 lead early and they went on to beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 6-1, setting up a rubber match in the nation's capital on Sunday.

Wilson Ramos kept the bottom of the second inning alive with a two-out double to left field on a hanging curve from Milwaukee Brewers' starter Taylor Jungmann. Michael Taylor stepped in next and put the Washington Nationals up 2-0 with a two-run home run on a 92 mph 2-1 fastball up high inside that he drove out to right.
