Christian Yelich Homers as the Major League-Leading Brewers Beat the Nationals 8

WASHINGTON, AUG 2 – Brandon Woodruff struck out eight and allowed one hit, helping the Brewers extend their NL Central lead with a dominant 8-2 victory over the Nationals.

  • The Milwaukee Brewers defeated the Washington Nationals 8-2 at Nationals Park on August 2, 2025, with Christian Yelich homering and Brandon Woodruff pitching effectively.
  • The Brewers built an early lead by scoring three runs in the first inning, aided by consecutive RBI singles from Yelich, Isaac Collins, and Blake Perkins off Nationals starter Jake Irvin.
  • Woodruff struck out eight batters, allowed only one hit, and extended his undefeated record against Washington to 5-0, maintaining an earned run average of 1.50 across nine games versus the Nationals, who were limited to just two hits.
  • Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick left the game in the fourth inning due to left knee soreness, and the team described his removal as a precautionary measure.
  • The Brewers improved to 66-44, leading the majors and holding a two-game NL Central lead, while the Nationals fell to 44-66, 22 games below.500, as the series concludes Sunday with rookies Misiorowski and Lord expected to start.
