The Nats stole game one of the series in Milwaukee last night, putting up 4 runs in the 9th inning to win it 7-3. The rally in the 9th was led by 3 consecutive bunts, which resulted in hits for the Nats, much to the dismay of Brewers fans. A welcome surprise was 4 scoreless innings from the Nats bullpen after Jake Irvin went 5 innings and allowed 3 runs, with Clayton Beeter finishing the job in the 9th.
Foster Griffin toes the rubber for the Nats in game two against the Brew Crew, coming off successful starts against both the Phillies and Dodgers, 2 heavyweight lineups. There are a few alterations for the Nats against the left-handed starters tonight, with Curtis Mead shifting from DH to 1B and Luis Garcia Jr. hitting the bench, Nasin Nunez playing 2B over Jorbit Vivas, and Jacob Young returning to the lineup in CF.
For the Brewers, Kyle Harrison toes the rubber in his 3rd Brewers start, acquired from the Red Sox this offseason. There are plenty of alterations to the Brewers’ lineup, as there often is, with Gary Sanchez, Brandon Lockridge, and Joey Ortiz joining the starting lineup and Garrett Mitchell, Jake Bauers, and David Hamilton hitting the bench.

Foster Griffin will also face another test in a scrappy Brewers lineup that will make starting pitchers work for outs. Follow along in the comments down below and let’s go Nats!
