WASHINGTON -- After scoring two total runs without a homer over the first two games of their series against the Brewers, the Nationals launched three long balls in a 7-4 win in Wednesday's series finale at Nationals Park.
The Nats scored six of their seven runs off the trio of homers. Bryce Harper gave them a 3-0 lead with an opposite-field shot in the first, and Jose Lobaton added to the lead with a solo home run the next inning. After the Brewers scored four runs in the third to tie the game, including Scooter Gennett's theft of home on a double steal, Washington re-took the lead on Stephen Drew's ground-rule double and extended it on Ryan Zimmerman's two-run blast.
