In theory, the pregame scratch of Milwaukee Brewers rookie phenom Jacob Misiorowski on Sunday should have offered the Washington Nationals an opportunity to stop their skid. Usually, a team cannot simply replace its ace — or one of its multiple aces — with a player from the minor leagues without experiencing a few bumps along the way.

Brice Turang hit two two-run homers, and the Milwaukee Brewers completed their first season sweep of the Washington Nationals with a 14-3 victory.

Blake Perkins homered twice and William Contreras had five hits, including his third homer in two games, as the visiting Milwaukee Brewers beat the Washington Nationals 16-9 on Friday.
