Nationals beat Brewers 6-4 to stop 5-game losing streak [Video]

WASHINGTON (AP) — Luis García Jr. was a triple shy of the cycle in his second straight three-hit game, Kyle Finnegan got a four-out save in his first outing since blowing a four-run lead and the Washington Nationals beat the Milwaukee Brewers 6-4 on Saturday to stop a five-game losing streak.

Travis Blankenhorn hit a two-run double on a ball that left fielder Jackson Chourio allowed to drop behind him at the base of the wall during a two-out rally as Washington took a 4-0, first-inning lead.

“We get the ball in the zone, we get the ball up, we put aggressive swings on it and good things happen,” Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. “We hit the ball really, really well. Luis García is really focused on trying to get the ball in the zone. He had a good day. Blankenhorn got a big hit for us. They played well.”
