The Brewers bats
went silent last night in a 3-0 loss to the Washington Nationals at Miller Park.  Milwaukee
hitters mustered just three hits on the night against starter Gio Gonzalez and
the bullpen.  The Nationals weren’t much
better.  Their only runs of the game came
off the bat of Adam La Roche as he belted a 3 run homer off of Matt Garza in
the 3^rd.  The series continues
tonight as Yovani Gallardo takes on Wisconsin
native Jordan Zimmermann.  Coverage
begins at 6:35pm on News-Talk 1450 KFIZ.
