The first game was another frustrating one for the Washington Nationals’ offense, which put up a total of four hits and one run in the 4-1 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers. Davey Martinez’s club went 0 for 1 with runners in scoring position on a rainy day in D.C., with three left on in a three-run loss.
Down 2-0 early, after a home run by Avisaíl García in the first, the Nationals put just one run up on the board on a Kyle Schwarber home run in the fourth, but they were down 4-1 at that point, and it ended up being their only run.
