MILWAUKEE, WI (WTAQ) – The Milwaukee Brewers ended August with a 6-3 win over the Washington Nationals.
The win keeps Milwaukee 3-and-a-half games behind the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central race.
Starting pitcher Zach Davies was sharp through seven innings with two earned runs and four strikeouts.
The Brewers’ offense backed him up throughout, including a home run from Jonathan Villar in the fifth off of Nats starter Gio Gonzalez.
Davies 16th win ties him for the most of anyone in the majors with former Brewer Zach Greinke, who’s now pitching for the Arizona Diamondbacks.
All-Star Brewers closer Corey Knebel earned his 31st save.
