Brewers Blast 25 Hits in Dominant Win Over Struggling Nationals
The Milwaukee Brewers continued their impressive form on Saturday, defeating the Washington Nationals in a high-scoring affair. Brandon Woodruff (2-0, 2.01 ERA) got the start for the Brewers opposite Jake Irvin (8-5, 4.69) of the Nationals.
The Brewers' offense was in full swing from the get-go, racking up a season-high 25 hits in the game. All nine offensive starters for the Brewers had at least one hit and one run, with Blake Perkins leading the charge.
Perkins, who joined the big-league club on July 18, has been a valuable addition to the Brewers' outfield. He showcased his versatility on Saturday, contributing with a solo home run in the second inning and a crucial two-run blast in the fifth. Perkins' home run total now stands at three since joining the Brewers, and he has a batting average of .227 with 5 hits in 22 at-bats, 3 RBIs, 3 runs scored, and 2 stolen bases.
William Contreras also had a standout performance for the Brewers, recording five hits on the night. Andrew Vaughn also homered for the sixth time this season, while fellow outfielder Tyrone Monasterio scored a run on a two-out, two-run double in the third inning.
The Brewers' 25 hits in the game are tied for the third most in their history, and the most since a 26-hit effort on Aug. 2, 2010, against the Chicago Cubs.
On the mound, Jose Quintana pitched five innings, allowing two runs and striking out four. The Nationals' offense struggled to keep up, with Paul DeJong homering in the third inning being their most notable contribution. The Nationals currently sit at a season-high 21 games under .500.
With this win, the Brewers have now won 16 of their last 20 games, further solidifying their position as a force to be reckoned with in the National League. The Brewers will look to continue their winning streak when they face the Nationals again on Sunday.
