Nasim Nuez drives in 2 as Nationals beat Brewers 3-2 to avoid sweep
By HARVEY VALENTINE
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) --- Nasim Nuez had a pair of run-scoring singles, CJ Abrams
had two hits and scored twice, and the Washington Nationals beat the Milwaukee
Brewers 3-2 on Sunday to avoid a three-game sweep.
Jos Tena had an RBI triple for Washington, which improved to 4-12 at Nationals
Park.
Nationals right fielder James Wood lost Gary Snchez's fly ball off Gus Varland
in the sun for a one-out single in the ninth. Richard Lovelady came on and,
after giving up a single to Jake Bauers, retired Garrett Mitchell on a grounder
that scored pinch-runner Blake Perkins. Lovelady then struck out Brandon
Lockridge for his first save.
Zack Littell (1-4) allowed a run over 3 2/3 innings after PJ Poulin opened with
two scoreless frames.
Lockridge had a double and a single for the Brewers, who had won three straight.
Milwaukee's Logan Henderson, recalled Sunday from Triple-A Nashville, allowed
two runs on three hits over six innings in his second start of the season.
Henderson (0-1) was perfect through four innings. He didn't walk a batter and
struck out eight, including the last three hitters he faced.
Neither team homered in the series.
Joey Ortiz gave the Brewers a 1-0 lead with a sacrifice fly in the fifth.
In the bottom half, Abrams led off with an infield single for Washington's
first hit. He stole second and scored on a single by Nuez. Tena tripled to
right-center and the Nationals led 2-1.
Abrams led off the seventh with a single and scored when Nuez singled through
a drawn-in infield.
Nationals first baseman Luis Garca Jr. left in the sixth with right wrist
soreness.
