The only player in blue it wasn't a good night for was reliever Easton McGee, who allowed five runs in the ninth as the Nationals cut a 12-run deficit to seven, but he ultimately managed to escape after throwing 34 pitches in the final inning.

Blake Perkins hit his first two home runs of the season and drove in three runs, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Washington Nationals 16-9.

Blake Perkins goes deep twice against the Nationals.
