Notes – Brewers jumped on top in the first on a monster HR by Domingo
Santana and a second run when Travis Shaw doubled, stole third with no
resistance and scored when Wieters couldn’t corral a third strike … Gio blanked
Milwaukee for the next 6 innings, fanning 8 and allowing only 3 more hits and 1
walk … after being shut out Tuesday night, the Nats continued their offensive
futility for most of the game against Jimmy Nelson, who fanned 10 … Murphy
finally broke the spell with a seventh-inning homer … Nelson was pulled after
walking Wieters to lead off the 8th, and the Nats tied things up on
a Goodwin double and Difo single … with 2 outs, Zimmerman gave the Nats the
lead on a 2-run double, although Difo fell on the way home and barely managed
to get there safely … after an intentional walk to Murphy, Nats extended their
lead on run-scoring hits by Rendon, Lind, and Pedro Severino … in the middle of
everything, Harper struck out, threw a temper tantrum and was ejected for the
10th time in his career and the 4th in the past two
seasons … Brewers made things a little interesting in the 9th, as
Doolittle yielded a walk, homer, single, and double before finally getting the
final two outs
Other – another long, slow drive to the park (about an hour and
three-quarters), with a circuitous route to our usual parking area as the
southern section of Half Street SW is now closed due to construction work on
the new stadium for DC United
