The Washington Nationals edged the Milwaukee Brewers 3–2 on May 3 at Nationals Park in a low-scoring defensive battle. Washington's pitching staff struck out 6 batters while allowing just 4 hits and 2 earned runs, posting a 4.81 ERA despite the victory. Milwaukee countered with 9 strikeouts across 6.1 innings but surrendered 7 hits and 3 earned runs, reflecting a 3.56 ERA that ultimately fell short. Both offenses struggled at the plate, with the Nationals managing only 7 hits and a .702 OPS while the Brewers recorded just 4 hits and a .689 OPS—a combined offensive drought typical of early-season pitching-dominant matchups. The Nationals' 3 RBIs proved decisive in the one-run margin, while Milwaukee's 2 RBIs left runners stranded in scoring position. Neither team committed an error, emphasizing clean defensive play throughout. This low-scoring result underscores the Brewers' continued difficulty generating consistent offensive production early in the season.
