The Washington Nationals defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 7–3 on April 10 at American Family Field, with the visitors' pitching staff dominating despite a modest strikeout total of seven. Washington's lineup generated 11 hits and 7 RBIs while posting a .773 OPS, significantly outpacing Milwaukee's anemic .737 OPS and just 4 hits at the plate. The Brewers struck out 7 times and managed only 3 runs on limited offensive production, though they did draw 5 walks. Milwaukee's pitching surrendered 11 hits and 7 earned runs with a 4.03 ERA, while the Nationals' staff held the home team to just 4 hits and 3 runs despite allowing 5 walks. The defensive miscue—one error by Milwaukee—compounded the Brewers' struggles in what was a decisive performance by Washington's contact-heavy approach. The Nationals' ability to manufacture runs through hits and RBIs rather than power suggests a sustainable offensive formula early in the season.
