James Wood highlighted a four-run ninth inning with a run-scoring double as the Washington Nationals came from behind to beat the host Milwaukee Brewers 7-3 Friday.<\/p>\n

The Nationals used three bunts and a hit by pitch off Brewers closer Trevor Megill (0-2, 11.25 ERA) to spark an unusual winning rally.<\/p>\n

CJ Abrams was hit by a pitch to start the inning then went to second when Joey Wiermer beat out a bunt.<\/p>\n

Luis Garcia singled up the middle to score Abrams. Jorbit Vivas then bunted back to Megill, who threw the ball away at the plate for a 5-3 Washington lead.<\/p>\n

Drew Millas then bunted and Megill came home again, but the throw was too late to get pinch-runner Nasim Nunez.<\/p>\n

Wood capped the scoring outburst with his fourth hit of the game.<\/p>\n

PJ Poulin (1-0, 4.70) picked up the win after tossing a perfect eighth inning.<\/p>\n

The Brewers announced right-hander Chad Patrick as their starter, but switched up and used southpaw reliever Aaron Ashby as an opener.<\/p>\n

Ashby gave up two runs in the first, but settled down to go 2 1\/3 innings, allowing three hits and the two earned runs. He struck out four and had no walks in 44 pitches.<\/p>\n

Patrick came on with one out in the third and went three innings. He gave up three hits and one walk in 50 pitches.<\/p>\n

Nationals starter Jake Irvin gave up two hits and three earned runs in five innings. The right-hander struck out five and walked five in 100 pitches.<\/p>\n

Irvin struggled in the first inning, giving up all three runs while walking three.<\/p>\n

The Nationals jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead in the first inning to cushion his struggles.<\/p>\n

Wood led off with a double to deep center field and scored when Curtis Mead followed with a single to center.<\/p>\n

Abrams brought Mead home when he nailed a two-out double to right.<\/p>\n

The Brewers fought right back in the bottom of the inning when Jake Bauers crushed to right a three-run home run.<\/p>\n

The Nationals tied it in the seventh off reliever Angel Zerpa when pinch-hitter Jarod Young dropped a two-out double down the right-field line to score Garcia.<\/p>\n
