Nationals Beat Brewers 3-2, Avoid Sweep

WASHINGTON — Nasim Nuñez delivered two run-scoring singles, CJ Abrams collected two hits and scored both of the Nationals' runs, and Washington defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 3-2 on Sunday at Nationals Park to avoid a three-game sweep.

The Nationals, who improved to 4-12 at home, rallied in the fifth inning after trailing 1-0. Joey Ortiz had put Milwaukee ahead with a sacrifice fly. CJ Abrams led off the bottom half with an infield single, stole second base, and came home on Nuñez's single to center. José Tena followed with an RBI triple to right-center, giving Washington a 2-1 lead.

Abrams opened the seventh with another single and scored on Nuñez's second RBI hit through a drawn-in infield, providing an insurance run.

Right-hander Logan Henderson took the loss for the Brewers, who had won three straight entering the series finale. In his second start of the season after a recall from Triple-A Nashville, Henderson allowed two runs on three hits over six innings. He retired the side in order through four innings without issuing a walk and struck out eight, including the final three batters he faced.

Zack Littell earned the win for Washington, permitting one run over 3 2/3 innings...
