Washington Nationals

Despite a strong start by Mackenzie Gore, who held the Mets scoreless through four innings, the team struggled offensively and in relief. Manager Dave Martinez expressed disappointment in the team's inability to score runs. Heading into their next game against the Brewers, pitcher Parker will look to improve upon his previous starts. Washington is currently ranked 20th in offense, 19th in defense, and holds a 77-85 record this season.
Milwaukee Brewers Analysis
The Milwaukee Brewers recently lost two out of three games to the Pittsburgh Pirates, including a 1-0 defeat in the series finale where Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes threw seven no-hit innings. Despite a solid performance by newly acquired Aaron Civale, who allowed just one run in 6.1 innings, the Brewers offense struggled, only managing one extra-base hit. The team's relief pitchers did not allow a hit in 2.2 innings of work, but the offense has been inconsistent, scoring three runs or less in three of their last five games. The Brewers are currently ranked 9th in power rankings, with a 54-41 overall record. Third baseman Joey Ortiz and catcher Gary Sanchez are still on the injured list. In past matchups, the Brewers have had success against the Washington Nationals, with a 1-3 record and a 4.19 ERA against them in six starts. Former Braves pitcher Dallas Keuchel won his last start against Washington in 2019, pitching six innings with no runs allowed.
