Milwaukee at Washington 1:35 ET
Nationals over Brewers- Milwaukee has lost eight straight and 9-of-10 and their troubles start at the plate where they are ranked No. 25 with a .231 team average. Right-hander Jason Alexander (0-0, 2.25 ERA) to try to get the Brewers turned around in his third career start. He has pitched a total of 12 innings in the big leagues and didn't factor into a decision as Milwaukee lost both games. Nationals right-hander Paolo Espino (0-0, 2.03) should get the opening call to start. This will be his 21st game, but his first start of the season, though he made 19 starts a year ago. Espino has worked more than one inning only twice since April. Still, take WASHINGTON!
