Washington Nationals vs Milwaukee Brewers — Apr 11, 2026 | Previsione AI e statistiche

Kyle Harrison responds to yesterday’s late-inning collapse by setting the tone early. The left-hander commands his four-seamer up and the slider down, punching out seven through six innings and limiting Washington to a lone third-inning RBI single by Brady House and a CJ Abrams sacrifice fly in the fifth. Foster Griffin matches zeroes for two frames, but once Milwaukee’s lineup turns over the second time the Brewers’ right-handed bats ambush him: William Contreras bangs a gap double, Jake Bauers yanks a two-run single, and Christian Yelich plates another with a line-drive RBI in the sixth. Griffin exits after five (3 ER), and a shaky Nationals bullpen surrenders insurance tallies in the seventh (Sal Frelick squeeze bunt) and eighth (Brice Turang opposite-field triple). Washington’s offense flashes in the eighth when James Wood launches a solo shot off Abner Uribe, but Aaron Ashby strands two to preserve the cushion. Trevor Megill is withheld after Friday’s implosion; instead, DL Hall handles the ninth, retiring the side in order to seal a 6-3 Brewers win. Key factors: • Pitching edge – Harrison’s sub-3.00 early-season ERA vs. Griffin making a spot start. • Bullpen rebound – Milwaukee’s rested high-leverage arms (Uribe, Hall) restore order. • Match-ups – Brewers’ balanced lineup forces Washington to go to its right-handed middle relievers early, exposing the Nats’ greatest weakness. Milwaukee protects first place, while Washington heads home still searching for consistency behind an overtaxed bullpen.
