But that flash of hope was short-lived as the Brewers exploded in their half of the 3rd inning.Third Inning Woes
A defensive nightmare unfolded during the bottom of the 3rd as Milwaukee's bats went wild. It started with Caleb Durbin's double, and then Sal Frelick, William Contreras, and Jackson Chourio each chipped in with clutch hits. Adding insult to injury, Christian Yelich blasted a two-run homer.
By the time the dust had settled, the Brewers were up 6-1.Highlights and Struggles
In the 6th inning, Brady House gave us a glimmer of hope by doubling to center, allowing Josh Bell to score, narrowing the gap to 7-2. And in the 7th, Riley Adams hammered a solo homer to left-center.
But the Brewers weren't done, as Andrew Vaughn hammered a solo shot of his own, extending their lead to 8-3.Looking Ahead
Despite the loss, there were moments to celebrate. Abrams and Adams showed immense promise as they battled at the plate. With a few more runs and some tighter defense, we can turn these games around. Keep your heads up, Nationals fans! Better days are surely ahead!
