MILWAUKEE — Joey Meneses hit a sacrifice fly in the 11th inning and the Washington Nationals defeated the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers 2-1 to prevent a three-game sweep. Luis García homered early for the Nationals, who are last in the NL East. With right-hander Thyago Vieira on for his second inning of relief in the 11th, automatic runner CJ Abrams advanced to third base on Lane Thomas' flyout and scored on Meneses' third sacrifice fly of the season. With runners at the corners in the bottom half, Robert Garcia got pinch-hitter Rowdy Tellez to ground into a game-ending double play to secure his first major league win. Garcia also pitched out of trouble in the 10th, holding the Brewers scoreless after they loaded the bases with one out.
