WASHINGTON (AP) — Juan Soto, Nelson Cruz and Josh Bell hit back-to-back-to-back home runs, and the Washington Nationals beat Milwaukee 8-6 on Saturday to deal the Brewers their eighth consecutive loss.
Milwaukee is in the midst of its longest losing streak since dropping eight in a row from Sept. 11-19, 2015. The Brewers have been outscored 57-20 during their skid.
“We have to accept it for what it is right now and find a way to get past it,” Milwaukee starter Eric Lauer said. “We’re kind of sitting in a chaos cycle where we’re doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
