Milwaukee at Washington

The Milwaukee Brewers have been a streaky team this season, good and bad, but mostly bad. While they have won nine straight, and four straight, they have fallen prey to losing streaks, having done so eight times in length of three to six games. They are currently on a five game skid, but the good news is they have been 3-1 when the losing streak reaches five or more. Washington is a team that opened the season with huge expectations after surprisingly making the playoffs a year ago, but they have trod the .500 mark all season, and just haven't gotten there. Consistency has been the order of the day, especially after a win, where the Nats have fallen in five of their last six. Gallardo has finally gotten things together, and has allowed zero runs in three of his last four starts. Play is on Milwaukee.
