Blake Perkins hit his first two home runs of the season and drove in three runs, and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Washington Nationals 16-9

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

A CJ Abrams leadoff double and two-out Luis Garcia Jr. two-strike RBI single produced the first run of the game in the bottom of the first, but Blake Perkins promptly got it back. The Brewers center fielder got a 1-2 mistake from Parker and sent it out to the first row of the left-field seats for his first home run of the season.
