Brice Turang and Joey Wiemer hit consecutive two-run singles as part of a four-run fourth inning, and the Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Washington Nationals 6-4 Tuesday night to snap a four-game losing streak.
Milwaukee began the day 1½ games behind Cincinnati in the NL Central and tied with Arizona and Miami for the third wild-card spot.
Last-place Washington, which had won eight of its last nine home games, was a seller at the deadline for the third season in a row. But unlike 2021, when it traded away Max Scherzer, Kyle Schwarber and Trea Turner, and last year, when it sent Juan Soto and Josh Bell to San Diego, the Nationals weren’t involved in a blockbuster. They moved third baseman Jeimer Candelario to the Chicago Cubs for two minor-leaguers Monday, then made no additional moves Tuesday.
Facing Milwaukee for the first time in his career, Gray allowed five runs while striking out three in 3 2/3 innings, his shortest outing of the season.
