When the schedule drops you a nice little favor, you have to take it. The Washington Nationals got just that with the Milwaukee Brewers in town on the heels of a six-game losing streak.
In the first two games of the weekend series, the Nationals’ offense came to life and bombarded Brewers pitching for 19 runs on 28 hits to take two wins before the bats died down in the series finale, but hey, series wins aren’t too common for this team, so they’ll take it.
The series win gave the Nationals their second victory in three series, which is progress from the two series wins in ten series before that.
