Brice Turang goes deep twice as Brewers clobber Nationals
The Brewers, who boast the best record (67-44) in baseball, scored 38 runs and collected 56 hits in the series.
Joey Ortiz had two hits and drove in four runs, and Brandon Lockridge had two hits and three RBIs for Milwaukee, which finished 6-0 against Washington this season.
Milwaukee's scheduled starter, rookie Jacob Misiorowski, was placed on the injured list Sunday morning with a left tibia contusion.
Logan Henderson was recalled from Triple-A Nashville and pitched 4 1/3 innings, allowing a run on three hits and two walks while striking out four. Aaron Ashby (2-1) pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings and struck out three for the win.
Drew Millas had two doubles for Washington.
Brad Lord (2-6) took the loss, allowing three runs on six hits over 4 2/3 innings. He struck out six and walked two.
As in the first two games, Milwaukee scored in the first inning when consecutive singles by William Contreras, Andrew Vaughn and Christian Yelich made it 1-0.
With two outs in the second and a runner on first, Turang homered to right center to make it 3-0.
The Nationals broke through in the fifth when Millas doubled and Jacob Young singled off Henderson to cut the Nationals' lead to 3-1. Ashby came on and struck out CJ Abrams and James Wood to end the threat.
Blake Perkins walked and pinch hitter Caleb Durbin singled leading off the sixth. Perkins scored on a sacrifice fly by Lockridge and then Durbin stole third and scored on Millas's throwing error on the play to make it 5-1.
The Brewers broke it open against Zach Brzykcy in the seventh. With one out, Yelich walked, Isaac Collins singled and Perkins walked to load the bases. Durbin was hit by a pitch, forcing in a run, and Lockridge singled, scoring two runs to make it 8-1. After a wild pitch, Ortiz singled home two more runs. Ryan Loutus came on to face Turang, who homered to right to make it 12-1.
Ortiz doubled home two runs in the eighth.
Millas smacked a two-run double in the bottom of the ninth.

Driver trying to set speed record at Utah salt flats race dies after losing control
A driver going 283 mph (455 km/h) trying to set a land speed record during a racing event at Utah's famed Bonneville Salt Flats died Sunday after he lost control of his rocket-like vehicle called the Speed Demon, organizers said. Driver Chris Raschke lost control about two and a half miles into a run and was treated by medical professionals at the scene, but died from his injuries, according to the Southern California Timing Association, which has organized the popular land-speed racing event known as Speed Week since the late 1940s. For decades, the flat, glasslike white surface has drawn drivers from all over seeking to set new land speed world records and motorcycle and car fans to watch. A remnant of a prehistoric lakebed, the salt flats that are about 100 miles (160km) west of Salt Lake City have also been a backdrop for movies like Independence Day and The World's Fastest Indian. 'Motorsports is inherently a dangerous sport,' said Dennis Sullivan, a car builder and racer who set a land speed record in his 1927 Model T street roadster and serves as president of the Utah Salt Flats Racing Association. 'People get hurt. People get killed. That's just the nature of the sport. It doesn't happen a lot.' Sullivan said motor sports also have stringent safety requirements – such as stronger roll bars, special tires and more fire extinguishers – that help protect drivers. The last racing death Sullivan recalled at the flats came in 2016 when Sam Wheeler, a renowned land speed motorcycle racer, crashed at 200 mph (321 km/h) when the high-performance bike he was testing fish-tailed and went airborne. The Bonneville Salt Flats, which had its first race in 1914, have about 7 miles (11km) for racing and an aquifer underneath that cools the tires of the cars. It's unlike other race venues in that it doesn't have stands. Spectators must stand two-tenths of a mile away from the cars. Raschke lost control of the vehicle about two and a half miles into a run. It's unknown what speed Raschke was aiming to reach. The association and the Tooele county sheriff's office are investigating the death, said Sgt Dane Lerdahl, a spokesperson for the law enforcement agency. 'We know it was an accident of some sort,' Lerdahl said. Raschke, 60, was the driver of a streamliner – a long, narrow, aerodynamic car made to run at high speeds – known as the Speed Demon. He had worked in motor sports for more than four decades. According to the Speed Demon racing team's site, Raschke worked at the Ventura Raceway in the early 1980s, raced three-wheelers and cars in the mini stock division, learned to fabricate and maintain race cars when working with an acclaimed engine builder and later became a driver for the Speed Demon team. Keith Pedersen, the association's president and Speed Week race director, said Raschke was a respected driver within the racing community and also worked for a company that makes fasteners for race cars. 'He is one of the big ones. He had done all sorts of racing,' Pedersen said. The Race Week event began Saturday and runs through Friday.

Cancer-stricken Guardians pitcher Nic Enright gets first career save midway through treatment
Cleveland Guardians relief pitcher Nic Enright got his first major league save on Monday as the 28-year-old rookie awaits a much bigger save opportunity this November: His final cancer treatment. 'He was almost crying on the field just now,' Guardians manager Stephen Vogt told reporters afterwards. 'If you read his story, it´s pretty inspirational.' Diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in late 2022, Enright nonetheless fought his way to the majors to make his debut on May 25 and has since posted an impressive 2.01 earned-run average over 19 appearances. Now, with All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase on paid leave amid a sports gambling probe, Enright has been asked to handle high-leverage situations, such as Monday's extra-innings battle against the Mets in Queens. Entering with a 7-5 lead in the 10th inning, Enright surrendered one unearned run on an RBI-single to Brett Baty but managed to get Luis Torrens to fly out to right to end the game. 'I definitely held my breath as I saw [Guardians right fielder Nolan Jones] kind of keep running,' Enright told reporters. 'But I had faith. As he kind of got closer to the wall, I realized it was losing steam.' Enright was originally selected by the Guardians out of Virginia Tech in the 20th round of the 2019 amateur draft. He'd be picked up by the Miami Marlins in the Rule 5 draft in 2022, only to be diagnosed with Hodkin Lymphoma 15 days later. Since then, he's undergone several rounds of immunotherapy and other treatments, while continuing to work towards his dream of pitching in the big leagues. 'I made the decision when I was diagnosed in 2022 with Hodgkin lymphoma that I wasn´t going to let that define my life and dictate how I was going to go about my life,' Enright said. 'It´s something where, for anyone else who is going through anything similar, [it shows] I haven´t just holed up in my house and felt sorry for myself this whole time.' Enrich was ultimately cut by the Marlins in 2023 before returning to the Guardians in May of that year and quietly turning himself into one of the better relief pitchers in Triple-A Columbus. Despite shoulder issues, he posted a miniscule 1.06 ERA in 16 appearances for Columbus in 2024 and was equally effective this season before being called up to the Guardians in May. Among Enright's keepsakes from Monday are the ball from the final out, his jersey and the lineup card, all of which he plans to set aside at the home he shares with his wife, Erin, whom he credits along with his other family members for their support. 'These last couple of years, especially, I've gone through a lot of adversity and just everything that's gone on,' Enright said, as quoted by The Associated Press. 'And so for me, it's being able to reflect on those in these moments. I think that helps being able to slow the game down. Because it hasn't exactly been a red-carpet rollout for my career trajectory.'
