James Wood doubled in two runs and Foster Griffin and three relievers combined on a two-hitter as the visiting Washington Nationals defeated Milwaukee 3-1 on Saturday night, handing the Brewers their fourth consecutive loss.<\/p>\n

The Brewers managed just one hit until William Contreras opened the ninth with his second homer, but the hosts stranded the bases loaded.<\/p>\n

The Nationals snapped a scoreless tie with two runs in the fifth off starter Kyle Harrison (1-1). Jacob Young singled leading off and took third on Nasim Nunez\u2019s double. One out later, Wood drove in both runners with a line-drive double to left.<\/p>\n

Washington added a run in the ninth when Nunez walked with two outs and Keibert Ruiz followed with an RBI double into the right field corner.<\/p>\n

Contreras opened the bottom half with a 378-foot shot to right-center off Clayton Beeter.<\/p>\n

Christian Yelich then reached on a swinging strikeout and continued to second on the wild pitch. Brandon Lockridge walked with one out and both runners advanced on a two-out wild pitch. Garrett Mitchell was walked intentionally to load the bases, but Beeter got Joey Ortiz on a comebacker.<\/p>\n

The Brewers, held hitless through five innings by Foster Griffin, also left the bases loaded in the sixth.<\/p>\n

Griffin (2-0) allowed just two walks through five before Ortiz singled up the middle to open the sixth. Griffin walked Brice Turang and got Luis Rengifo on a popout before being relieved by Brad Lord. Both runners advanced on a groundout and Yelich was walked intentionally to load the bases. Pinch hitter Jake Bauers bounced out to second.<\/p>\n

Griffin allowed just one hit in 5 1\/3 innings, walking three and striking out one. Lord followed with 1 2\/3 hitless innings. Cionel Perez tossed a hitless eighth and Beeter finished for his second save.<\/p>\n

The Brewers have scored just six runs during their four losses. All their runs in the last three games before Contreras\u2019 homer came on Bauer\u2019s three-run shot in the first inning of Friday\u2019s 7-3 loss to the Nationals.<\/p>\n

Harrison allowed two runs on four hits in 4 1\/3 innings, striking out one and walking one, with one hit batter.<\/p>\n

Harrison dodged injury on the first play of the game when first baseman Gary Sanchez mishandled Wood\u2019s bouncer. Harrison fell awkwardly covering first while trying to corral Sanchez\u2019s hurried, off-target throw. The left-hander got up gingerly, but stayed in the game.<\/p>\n
